Orders  west  of  the  Mississippi  River 
must  be  for  $1.00  or  over,  unless 
10c  extra  is  included  for  postage,  as 
parcel  post  rate  is  very  high  west  of

of  the  profit  of  the  sale. 


POSTAGE  EXTRA 

On  dry  roots  and  herbs,  plain  or  mixed, 
include  5c  for  each  $1.00  worth  ordered.

All  of  our  herb  teas  are  harmless. 
We  sell  no  poisonous  or  harmful 
drugs. 


How  to  Make  Medicine  From  Our 
Mined  Formulae 

Directions— -Steep  a heaping  teaspoon- 
ful of  our  mixed  herbs  into  a cup  of 
boiling  water,  let  stand  until  cool.  Drink 
cold  one  cupful  during  the  day,  a large 
mouthful  at  a time. 

Use  double  or  treble  the  quantity  if 
no  results  are  apparent  after  a few  days’ 
use. 

If  an  herb  tea  mixture  is  composed 
mostly  of  roots  and  barks  the  tea  may 
be  boiled  for  one  or  two  minutes  so  as 
to  extract  all  of  the  medicinal  value. 
But  if  composed  mostly  of  herbs  and 
leaves  and  flowers  the  tea  should  not 
be  boiled  as  boiling  would  evaporate  the 
aromatic  principles  of  the  tea. 

If  an  herb  tea  is  to  be  taken  for  a 
long  time  it  is  best  to  take  it  alter- 
nately for  3 days;  omit  for  3 days  and 
continue  again  for  3 days  and  so  on 
until  desired  results  are  obtained. 


How  to  Make  Medicine  From  Plain 
Unmixed  Herbs. 

Just  place  a heaping  teaspoonful  of 
any  herb  or  herb  mixture  into  a cup  of 
boiling  water;  let  stand  until  cold. 
That’s  all.  Drink  one  or  two  cupsful  a 
day;  a large  mouthful  at  a time. 

Nature,  in  her  wisdom,  has  provided 
us  with  aromatics  which  improve  the 
taste  and  efficacy  of  all  herbal  prepara- 
tions. Among  the  most  valuable  of  these 
are  Fennel,  Anise,  Cloves,  Cinnamon, 
Sassafras,  Wintergreen,  Celery,  etc.  One 
teaspoonful  of  any  of  these  aromatics 
may  be  steeped  with  one  teaspoonful  of 
any  other  herb  in  a cup  of  boiling  water 
for  thirty  minutes.  Two  or  more  of 
these  aromatics  may  be  mixed  together 
to  produce  any  special  flavor  desired.  If 
an  herb  tea  is  very  bitter  or  disagree- 
able it  should  be  diluted  with  water.  It 
is  better  to  take  a large  dose  of  a weak 
tea  than  a small  dose  of  a strong  tea. 
In  all  herb  teas  you  can  safely  follow 
your  own  taste.  An  overdose  or  too 
strong  a tea  will  IN  NO  CASE  prove 
fatal  nor  seriously  injurious

The  Herb  Doctor  or  Medi- 
cine Man’s  Method  of 
Treating  the  Sick 

IN  all  ages  there  has  been  as  much 
disagreement  among  doctors  as  be- 
tween members  of  opposite  political 
parties  or  the  adherents  of  various  reli- 
gious creeds. 

Even  today  four  different  physicians 
will  treat  the  same  patient  with  differ- 
ent medicines. 

As  a matter  of  fact,  an  honest  doctor 
will  admit  that  the  latest  medical  sci- 
ence is  not  more  uniformly  successful  in 
the  treatment  of  many  ills  and  maladies 
than  the  remedies  discovered  and  used 
for  centuries  past  by  numerous  tribes  of 
Indians  and  other  savage  races.  Again 
and  again,  in  highly  civilized  nations  we 
have  seen  whole  communities  extermi- 
nated— thousands  of  people  slain  by  epi- 
demics and  plagues  in  spite  of  all  that 
physicians  could  do. 

It  is  not  easy  to  think  of  the  Indians 
of  North  and  South  America,  the 
black  people  of  Africa  and  the  islands 
of  the  sea  and  the  yellow  races  of  Asia 
as  possessing  scientific  knowledge.  Yet 
if  these  people  had  not  found  a cure  for 
hundreds  of  their  ailments,  they  must 
long  since  have  disappeared  from  the 
earth.  The  answer  is  quite  simple — Na- 
ture does  the  curing. 

They  do  not  run  to  a doctor  to  have 
their  systems  filled  up  or  weakened  by 
poisonous  or  inorganic  drugs — they  as- 
sist Nature  either  by  cleaning  out  the 
stomach  and  intestinal  tract  with  a 
cathartic  or  by  taking  a hot  infusion  of 
some  botanical,  as  a diaphoretic  or  by 
drinking  copious  quantities  of  a botani- 
cal demulcent,  expectorant  or  refriger- 
ant or  emmenagogue,  as  the  case  may 
indicate — and  Nature  does  the  curing. 
The  simple  botanical  infusions  that  in- 
variably form  part  Of  their  treatments 
are  mostly  laxative,  cathartic,  diapho- 
retic or  merely  demulcent  in  their  action 
and  contain  no  actual  curative  force — 
they  act  merely  as  a gentle  aid  to  Na- 
ture. Fasting  for  a few  days  or  longer 
also  formed  a part  of  their  treatments. 

Nausea  and  vomiting  following  a meal 
is  not  a plea  for  a tonic  or  digestant, 
but  a plea  for  rest  and  fasting.  It  is  a 
sign  that  your  digestive  system  has  been 
overtaxed  and  is  out  of  order  and  wants 
rest.  Natural  forces  of  repair  and  re- 
cuperation will  take  care  of  your  stora- 

3 


ach  and  digestive  system  when  you 
cease  to  abuse  it.  The  same  is  true  of 
almost  every  other  ailment.  Lack  of 
vitamines  and  organic  minerals  often  are 
the  cause  of  many  of  our  chronic  ail- 
ments, many  of  which  can  be  arrested 
or  cured  by  simply  partaking  of  foods 
or  botanicals  rich  in  these  elements. 

The  treatments  given  in  this  book  call 
attention  to  foods  rich  in  vitamines.  The 
botanical  teas  mentioned  could  rightly 
be  called  vegetable  soups  rich  in  vita- 
mines and  mineral  salts — for  they  are  a 
product  of  Nature’s  great  laboratories, 
“The  Fields  and  the  Forests.”  Growing 
in  the  sunshine  absorbing  the  life-giving 
ultra-violet  rays,  or  growing  in  the 
forest,  absorbing  the  vital  mineral  salts 
from  the  earth — they  present  a form  of 
medicine  that  human  ingenuity  cannot 
equal.  Verily,  our  finest  chemical  labora- 
tory cannot  compare  with  the  chemical 
laboratory  of  the  simplest  herb  growing.

cinating subject,  send  for  our  free  Al- 
manic  and  watch  for  my  lectures  over

THE  MEDICINE  MAN. 


FEVERS 

In  these  ailments  as  in  most  others, 
Nature  does  the  curing.  Medicines, 
whether  of  organic  or  inorganic  origin, 
can  merely  aid  in  the  process  by  build- 
ing up  resistance.  The  botanicals  listed 
are  mostly  diaphoretic  in  their  action  if 
used  as  hot  infusions;  if  used  cold  they 
act  as  mild  tonics  and  aromatics. 

TYPHOID  FEVER 

This  disease  affects  principally  the 
bowels,  causing  diarrhoea  in  many  cases, 
fever,  loss  of  appetite  and  flesh,  some- 
times delirium,  hemorrhage  from  the 
bowels,  and  other  serious  symptoms.  For 
two  or  three  weeks  prior  to  the  attack  the 
patient  complains  of  feeling  tired  and 
wretched.  The  appetite  fails  and  the 
tongue  is  coated.  Then  follow  headache, 
backache,  fever,  restlessness,  looseness 
of  the  bowels  and  a tenderness  over  the 
lower  portion  of  the  abdomen. 

Treatment — The  first  thing  to  do  is  to 
call  a doctor.  Give  plenty  of  lemon  juice 
diluted  with  water  if  desired.  Give  no 
food  of  any  kind.  Alcoholic  stimulants 
may  be  taken  in  moderation,  but  always 
with  the  addition  of  lemon  juice.  A good 
hurse  can  do  more  than  a doctor.  One 
grain  Bismuth  tablets  may  be  taken 

4 


every  hour.  Bismuth  is  not  a medicine 
— merely  a protective  coating  for  the 
membrane  of  the  intestines.  Only  liquid 
foods  should  be  given  and  only  as  the 
nurse  or  doctor  may  advise.  After 
disease  has  run  its  course  mucilaginous 
or  demulcent  drinks  with  lemon  juice 
are  excellent.  Still  later  a good  astrin- 
gent is  good. 

Among  the  most  popular  botanical  de- 
mulcents are:  Benne  leaves,  Marshmal- 
low Root,  Elm  Bark.  The  most  popular 
astringents  are:  Blackberry  Root,  Wild 
Alum  Root,  Mormon  Valley  Herb,  Wal- 
nut Leaves,  Red  Raspberry  Leaves, 
Sweet  Fern,  Huckleberry  Leaves. 


MALARIAL  FEVER 

There  are  two  kinds  of  malarial  fever, 
the  intermittent  and  remittent.  In  the 
intermittent  form  there  is  a severe  chill 
followed  by  fever  and  profuse  sweating, 
after  which  the  fever  entirely  disap- 
pears. These  attacks  may  come  on  only 
every  other  day,  or  they  may  appear 
every  third  day.  In  remittent  fever,  the 
fever  does  not  entirely  disappear,  but 
rises  and  falls  within  well-defined  limits. 

The  parasites  which  cause  malarial 
fevers  feed  upon  and  destroy  the  red- 
blood  cells,  and  this  accounts  for  the 
pale,  sallow  complexions  of  people  who 
live  in  malarial  districts  and  have  had 
the  disease,  which  is  known  as  “ague.” 
It  is  known  that  these  parasites  are 
transmitted  to  human  beings  by  mos- 
quitoes which  breed  in  stagnant  water. 
A person  suffering  from  malaria  should 
always  sleep  in  a screened  room,  as  mos- 
quitoes biting  him  and  sucking  his  blood 
may  then  transmit  the  disease  to  others. 

Treatment—-In  the  chronic  type  of  this 
disease,  generally  known  as  “malaria,” 
“ague,”  etc.,  the  patient  should  have 
regular  daily  action  of  the  bowels, 
wholesome  food,  fresh  air  and  exercise; 
these  are  better  than  medicine.  A Feb- 
rifuge with  Antiperiodic  and  tonic  prop- 
erties is  often  useful. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
Febrifuges  and  Tonics  are:  Ague  Weed 
or  Boneset,  Cinchona,  Sweet  Flag,  Galan- 
gal,  Elecampane,  Agrimony,  Elder  Ber- 
ries, Five  Finger  Grass,  Sage,  Blue  Ver- 
vain, Wood  Sorrel,  Yarrow,  Hops,  Juni- 
per Berries,  Lovage,  Sweet  Marjoram, 
Blessed  Thistle,  Cloves,  Jamaica  Ginger 
and  Wild  Ginger.  Any  selection  of  two 
or  three  of  the  above  may  be  mixed  in 
equal  parts  and  a heaping  teaspoon  ful 
of  the  mixture  taken  to  a cup  of  boiling 
water.  For  those  who  prefer  a formula 

5 


already  mixed  ready  for  use,  we  refer  to 
our  Formula  No.  7 Florida  Tea,  No.  22 
Jesuits  Fever  Bark  Compound  and  No. 
700  Ague  Weed  Compound  described  in 
the  last  pages  of  this  'book. 


MEASLES 


Is  generally  a mild,  although  under 
certain  conditions,  it  may  become  a dan- 
gerous disease.  It  begins  like  many 
fevers,  with  headache,  backache  and 
chills,  a redness  of  the  eyes  and  soon  a 
hoarse,  loose  cough,  which  is  character- 
istic of  the  disease.  The  rash  appears 
first  on  the  face  in  clusters  with  a red- 
dish blush,  deepening  and  increasing  as 
it  comes  out.  There  is  generally  fever. 

Treatment — Patient  must  be  kept  quiet 
and  in  a darkened  and  well-ventilated 
room.  Great  care  must  be  taken  to  pre- 
vent the  patient  from  catching  cold.  A 
hot  Botanic  Tea  is  excellent  as  a 
diaphoretic  to  bring  out  the  rash.  Hot 
lemonade  is  also  good.  . 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanicals 
are:  Elder  Berries,  Elder  Flowers,  Lov- 
age,  Sage,  Tormentil,  Birch  Bark,  Yar- 
row, Tansy,  Holy  Herb,  Marigold,  Saf- 
fron and  Bistort.  To  those  who  prefer 
a tea,  all  prepared  and  ready  for  use, 
we  refer  to  our  Formula  No.  700,  No.  7 
and  No.  22. 


SCARLET  FEVER 


An  acute,  eruptive  and  infectious 
fever.  The  first  symptom  is  usually 
vomiting,  soon  succeeded  by  violent 
heat,  very  rapid  pulse  and  sore  throat, 
which  may  be  known  by  the  pain  on 
swallowing.  Then  a rash  or  reddish 
blush  spreads  over  the  body,  commencing 
on  the  arms,  neck,  breast  and  face  until 
the  disease  has  reached  its  height,  when 
later  it  becomes  faintly  yellowish  and 
the  outer  skin  flakes  off  in  patches  or  in 
small,  bran-like  scales.  Such  is  the 
course  of  a mild  case,  but  it  may  ^e- 
come  complicated  with  ulcerated  throat 
or  other  symptoms. 

Treatment  — In  suspected  cases  the 
patient  should  be  immediately  put  to  bed 
and  kept  warm  and  quiet.  Call  a doctor 
and  give  plenty  of  lemon  juice  m water. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  diaphoret- 
ics and  aromatics  are:  Lady  Slipper, 
Borage,  Chamomile,  Elder  Berries,  Elder 
Flowers,  Frostwort,  Dandelion  and  Sweet 
Balm.  To  those  who  prefer  a tea,  ail 
prepared  and  ready  for  use,  we  refer  to 
Formulas  No.  137,  No.  700  and  No.  223. 


DIPHTHERIA  AND  CROUP 

These  diseases  were  formerly  consid- 
ered distinct  from  each  other,  but  are 
now  known  to  be  the  same,  the  only  dif- 
ference being  in  the  location  of  the  false 
membrane.  There  is,  however,  a form 
of  croup  called  “spasmodic  croup”  which 
is  common  in  children  who  are  exposed 
to  cold.  In  diphtheria  the  membrane 
forms  in  the  nose  or  throat,  where  it  can 
be  seen.  In  croup  it  forms  far  down 
in  the  larynx  or  vocal  box,  where  it  can- 
not be  seen  without  the  aid  of  special 
instruments.  Croup  is  more  fatal  than 
diphtheria  because  the  windpipe  often 
becomes  stopped  up  by  the  membrane, 
thus  choking  the  little  patient  to  death. 

Diphtheria  begins  with  soreness  of  the 
throat,  and  the  glands  of  the  neck  be- 
come enlarged.  There  is  also  chilliness, 
followed  by  some  fever  and  pain  on  at- 
tempting to  swallow.  The  throat  is  cov- 
ered with  a grayish  yellow  membrane 
which  sometimes  extends  upward  into 
the  nose,  or  downward  into  the  larynx, 
causing  croup.  The  heart  is  generally 
weakened  and  the  disease  is  sometimes 
followed  by  paralysis  of  the  palate  and 
throat  muscles,  and  even  the  muscles 
of  the  lower  extremities.  Even  during 
convalescence  the  heart  may  be  suddenly 
paralyzed  and  thus  follows  a tragic  end- 
ing to  what  appeared  to  be  a favorable 
case.  For  this  reason  diphtheria  patients 
should  be  kept  very  quiet  in  bed  until  all 
danger  is  past.  Of  course,  everyone 
knows  that  diphtheria  is  a contagious 
disease,  and  a competent  local  physician 
should  be  called  immediately.  The  diet 
should  be  under  the  instructions  of  the 
physician  in  charge  of  the  case. 

Treatment — Call  a specialist.  Give 
fresh  pineapple  juice  undiluted,  % to  1 
teaspoonful  every  half  hour.*  Lemonade 
with  pineapple  juice  is  excellent  as  a 
drink.  Some  old  botanists  gave  half  a 
teaspoonful  of  coal  oil  or  kerosene,  some 
y2  teaspoonful  of  turpentine.  Give  No. 
99  Calumet  Herb  Laxative  Tea  as  a 
laxative.  Use  oil  only  with  doctor’s 
consent. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  diapho- 
retics are;  Elder  Berries,  Elder  Flowers. 
As  a gargle,  lemon  or  pineapple  juice  are 
preferred  or  a water  made  from  No. 
5003  Natural  Mineral  Spring  Ore. 

The  following  are  excellent  for  use 
as  a gargle:  No.  311  Eucamint  Liquid, 
No.  905  Mucous  Solvent,  No.  2036  Iron- 
ite.  As  a local  treatment  bandaged 
around  the  neck  any  of  the  following 
may  be  used:  No.  43  Eucamint  Pain  Re- 
lief, No.  142  Mustorine,  No.  159  Goose 
Grease  Ointment.  See  Price  list  in  back.

Honey-Cherry-Balsam  Compound — The 

finest  cough  syrup  our  famous  Herbalist 
has  been  able  to  produce.  Contains  no 
sugar.  Compounded  of  Honey,  Wild 
Cherry,  White  Pine,  other  herbs  and  bal- 
sams. Children  love  it.  Wonderful  for 
singers  and  speakers.  Try  it  for  your

Juniperole — This  is  a preparation  of 
Juniper  and  other  Vegetable  Oils  that  we 
can  recommend  as  an  expectorant  in 
stubborn  cases  of  Coughs,  Croup,  Bron- 
chitis, etc.,  where  an  expectorant  is  indi- 
cated. It  is  a handy  household  remedy 
that  should  be  in  every  home.  We  have 
never  heard  or  seen  a remedy  that  so 
quickly  relieves  that  heavy  feeling  in 
the  chest  caused  by  phlegm  that  stub- 
bornly  refuses  to  be  expelled. 

No.  142- — Price,  50c. 

Mustorin  e — Medium  and  Triple 
Strength.  A very  efficacious  application 
for  the  throat  and  breast  in  colds, 
coughs,  sore  throat,  pleurisy,  pneumonia 
and  as  a rub  in  rheumatic  pains.  It  is 
very  powerful  and  takes  the  place  of  the 
old  fashioned  mustard  plaster.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  mustard,  it  contains  other 
oils  and  gums  that  add  greatly  to  its 
efficacy.  Medium  strength  is  for  chil- 
dren,  triple  strength  for  adults. 

No.  97 — Price,  25c  and  $1.00  per  box. 

Pig  Candy  Laxative- — This  ideal  Lax- 
ative contains  no  Drugs — no  medicinal 
roots  or  herbs  of  any  kind.  It  is  some- 
thing entirely  new.  It  acts  as  a me- 
chanical lubricant — similar  to  the  min- 
eral oils  so  widely  advertised — but  far 
superior  to  these  as  it  is  not  oily — is  not 
made  from  oils.  Contains  only  Pigs  and 
Seeds.  Absolutely  harmless,  regardless 
of  the  quantity  taken.  It  is  made  of 
Pigs  and  tastes  like  figs  and  has  no 
medicinal  flavor  or  taste  nor  any  medic- 
inal value.  It  is  a laxative  and  nothing 
else.  Children  love  it.  Old  folks  enjoy  it.

SMALLPOX 

Smallpox  comes  on  with  a severe  pain 
in  the  back,  chills  occur  with  intense 
headache,  followed  by  fever.  The  rash 
comes  on  about  the  third  day  and  at 
first  looks  very  much  like  measles  or 
scarlet  fever.  About  the  eighth  day  the 
postules  appear  on  the  fact  and  arms 
and  these  are  gradually  covered  with 
thick  crusts  which  drop  off,  leaving 
well-known  “pits”  or  scars.  Various  in- 
ternal organs  may  become  affected  and 
the  patient  may  have  bronchitis,  pneu- 
monia or  inflammation  of  the  kidneys. 

Treatment — Give  at  once  No.  99  as  a 
laxative.  Call  a doctor.  Give  lemon 
juice  diluted  a little  with  water.  No. 
3003  Natural  Mineral  Spring  Water  is 
also  very  good  to  allay  the  thirst. 

CHICKENPOX 

Is  a mild  but  very  contagious  disease, 
usually  lasting  about  four  or  five  days. 
It  consists  of  the  appearance  of  vesicles, 
smooth  and  transparent,  filled  with  a 
watery  fluid,  mostly  located  on  the  cov- 
ered parts  of  the  body,  and  -which  ma- 
ture rapidly,  frequently  becoming  as 
large  as  peas  within  a day’s  time.  These 
thin,  watery  vesicles  often  come  out  in 
clusters,  burst  and  dry  up,  leaving  a 
small  puckered  scab.  The  attack  is  at- 
tended with  slight  fever. 

Treatment — Give  at  once:  No.  99,  as 
a laxative.  Apply  No.  43  Eucamint  Pain 
Relief  to  allay  the  itching  and  do  not

MUMPS 

Is  known  by  the  sensitive  swelling  of 
a gland  in  front  of  and  below  the  ear,  on 
one  or  both  sides.  It  is  attended  with 
fever  and  pain  when  chewing.  It  usu- 
ally passes  off  in  three  or  four  days, 
but  is  sometimes  dangerous  if  the  pa- 
tient is  chilled.  Complications  may 
arise  that  may  be  more  or  less  serious. 

Treatment — Put  patient  to  bed.  Give 
at  once  No.  99  Laxative  Tea.  Apply  No. 
43  Eucamint  Pain  Relief  or  No.  159 
Goose  Grease  Ointment  to  reduce  pain 
and  swelling,  and  give  plenty  of  lemon 
juice  in  water. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botan- 
icals  are:  Sweet  Balm,  Chamomile  Flow- 
ers, Elder  Flowers.  Use  chiefly  with 
the  addition  of  lemon  juice  as  refriger- 
ant teas;  if  taken  hot  they  act  as  dia- 
phoretics.

LA  GRIPPE  OR  INFLUENZA 

The  first  symptoms  are  a chill,  sneez- 
ing and  cold  in  the  head,  followed  by  a 
cough  which  may  be  the  beginning  of 
pneumonia.  Sometimes  the  throat  is 
sore  and  ulcers  may  appear  on  the  ton- 
sils. Acting  pains  in  the  back  and 
other  parts  of  the  body  are  often  com- 
plained of.  There  is  apt  to  be  consid- 
erable fever  and  much  weakness,  and 
the  patient  is  low-spirited. 

Treatment — Patient  should  be  put  to 
bed  and  kept  warm.  Give  whiskey  di- 
luted with  lemon  juice.  Should  pneu- 
monia develop  it  will  require  the  usual 
supportive  and  stimulating  measures 
that  are  employed  in  ordinary  cases  of 
that  disease.  The  after-effects  of  this 
disease  are  frequently  more  to  be 
dreaded  than  the  disease  itself.  The 
system  is  frequently  left  weakened  and 
debilitated,  in  which  condition  it  is  open 
to  attacks  from  other  diseases  and  even 
to  recurrence  of  this  trouble.  Whiskey 
will  keep  up  the  strength — Diaphoretics 
and  Tonics  are  often  useful. 

Call  only  an  experienced  doctor. 

The  Herb  Doctor's  choice  of  Febri- 
fuges and  Diaphoretics  and  Tonics  are: 
Boneset,  Jesuits  Bark,  Chamomile,  Sweet 
Flag,  Goose  Grass.  The  already  mixed 
formulas  are  No.  700  Ague  Weed  Com- 
pound, No.  22  Jesuits  Fever  Bark  Com- 

gound,  No.  7 Florida  Tea,  No.  12  Hop 
:itter,  No.  182  Birch  Mountain  Tea  and 
No.  221  German  Breast  Tea.  Also  see 
coughs  and  colds. 

ERYSIPELAS 

This  is  a general  or  constitutional 
disease,  due  to  an  infection  by  a germ. 
It  differs  from  other  fevers  in  the  fact 
that  it  begins  as  a local  inflammation 
of  the  skin,  often  on  the  face,  and  may 
spread  to  other  parts  of  the  body.  The 
inflamed  spot  is  red,  smooth  and  shines 
like  a piece  of  polished  furniture.  There 
is  generally  a chill  with  fever,  loss  of 
appetite,  dry  furred  tongue  and  a les- 
sened amount  of  urine.  Sometimes  ab- 
scesses occur  with  the  local  inflamma- 
tion and  other  symptoms  of  blood  poi- 
soning may  appear.  Meningitis  is  also  a 
complication  of  serious  importance. 

Treatment — Call  a specialist.  Give  at 
once  No.  99  Laxative  Tea.  Use  No.  43 
Eucamint  Pain  Relief  or  Sulphur-Tar 
Salve  to  afflicted  parts. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botani- 
cals  are:  Strawberry  Leaves,  Sweet 
Balm,  Elder  Flowers,  used  mainly  as  re- 
frigerant drinks.

TONSILLITIS  AND  QUINSY 

Begins  with  redness,  swelling  of  the 
throat  and  tonsils,  difficult  and  painful 
swallowing,  there  is  a fever  and  great 
prostration,  and  the  disease  may  ter- 
minate in  ulceration  of  the  tonsils. 

Treatment — First  give  No.  99  as  a 
laxative.  Spray  the  throat  frequently 
by  means  of  an  atomizer  with  Ironite 
or  Eucamint  Liquid.  Apply  No.  159 
Goose  Grease  around  the  throat,  cover- 
ing with  a flannel  bandage,  renewing 
as  often  as  necessary. 

The  diet  should  be  easily  digestible 
and  nourishing  food:  farina  or  other 
gruel,  milk  and  beef  tea.  Lemon  juice  is 
also  good.  See  Fevers. 

LARYNGITIS 

Or  inflammation  of  the  Larynx  and 
vocal  cords  is  characterized  by  hoarse- 
ness, or  a whispering  voice;  a sensation 
of  constriction  in  the  throat  and  inabil- 
ity to  breathe  freely,  accompanied  by 
pressure  on  the  throat  or  along  the 
larnyx.  There  is  usually  a hoarse 
cough,  with  expectoration  of  tough,  ad- 
hesive mucous  and  a sensation  as  if 
there  were  a lump  in  the  throat. 

Treatment — Same  as  for  Tonsillitis.

Its  principal  symptoms  are,  profuse  dis- 
charge of  thick  mucous,  nose  is  stopped 
up,  difficulty  in  breathing.  There  is 
sometimes  pain  across  the  forehead.

HEADACHES 

Headache  is  a symptom  of  some  dis- 
ease or  derangement  of  the  system.  The 
cause  should  be  determined  before  any 
treatment  is  taken.  Eye  strain  is  also 
a very  common  cause.  Other  causes 
are  diseases  of  the  womb  and  ovaries  in 
women,  piles  and  malaria,  anemia,  the 

11 


excessive  use  of  tobacco,  exposure  to 
cold,  errors  in  diet,  a plug-  of  wax  in 
the  internal  ear,  catarrh  of  the  nose  and 
upper  part  of  the  frontal  sinus,  the  in- 
halation of  gas  in  houses  where  the  fix- 
tures are  leaky,  sleeping  in  closely  and 
illy-ventillated  rooms,  etc.,  etc. 

Treatment — Take  one  or  two  Annistan 
Tablets  to  relieve  the  pain.  Then  deter- 
mine the  cause  and  take  the  proper  ac- 
tion to  remove  same.  If  of  a nervous 
nature,  take  Calmative  Tea;  if  due  to 
constipation  or  disturbance  of  the  diges- 
tive organism,  take  a large  dose  of  No. 
99  Calumet  Herb  Laxative  Tea. 

EARACHE 

Earache  is  generally  due  to  a slight 
cold;  it  can  also  result  from  catarrh  or 
sinus  trouble.  ,If  due  to  a cold  the  fol- 
lowing is  useful: 

Treatment — Pour  a few  drops  of  our 
No.  47  Ear  Lotion  on  cotton  and  place

cold  is  a common  cause  of  Neuralgia. 
Often  decayed  teeth  or  teeth  in  which 
the  nerve  has  been  taken  out  are  the 
cause.  Malaria  is  also  a cause. 

Treatment — Determine  the  cause  and

A most  valuable  application  for  all 
ailments  wherever  a cooling,  soothing 
liniment  can  be  applied.  It  banishes  pain 
quicker  than  any  liniment  modern 
science  has  yet  produced,  to  our  knowl- 
edge. It  affords  relief  in  Rheumatism, 
Backache,  Lumbago,  Neuralgia,  Earache, 
Stiff  Neck  and  Joints,  Aching  Feet, 
Headache,  Sores,  Cramps,  Toothache,

Wounds,  Eczema,  Skin  Diseases,  Insect 
Bites,  Piles,  Itch,  CORNS,  Bunions,  Boils, 
and  all  inflammation  where  a soothing, 
cooling  agent  is  indicated. 

directions — Apply  as  a liniment  by 
placing  a small  quantity  into  the  palm 
of  the  hand  and  rubbing  on  afflicted  part. 
The  longer  the  rubbing  is  continued  the 
better  the  effects.  Unlike  liniments, 
which  have  a strong  obnoxious  odor,  this 
delightful  article  is  delicately  perfumed, 
pleasant  to  apply. 

For  Corns,  Bunions,  Insect  Bites,  Boils, 
apply  directly  or  bandage  with  soft  cot- 
ton. 

Euca-Mint  is  a preparation  that  should 
be  kept  on  hand  for  emergency  cases.  It 
may  be  used  freely  withouh  causing 
harmful  effects.  Many  serious  ailments 
can  be  prevented  if  it  is 
used  promptly.  It  is 
better  to  be  on  the  safe 
side  and  keep  a tube  of 
Euca-Mint  on  hand  all 
the  time  for  quick  use.

nostril.  Rub  the  salve  over  region  of 
the  lungs,  back  of  forelegs  and  cover.

THE  OLD-FASHION  PLASTER. 

Judging1  from  the  great  number  of  in- 
quiries we  get  for  Kidney  Plasters  and 
Lung  Plasters,  it  appears  that  these  will 
again  become  as  popular  as  they  were  40 
years  ago.  Like  Roots  and  Herbs,  they 
have  been  succeeded  by  more  powerful 
drugs,  but  gradually  people  are  coming 
back  to  these  good  old  standbys — and 
their  values  in  certain  ailments  are  being 
rediscovered.  When  you  get  tired  drug- 
ging yourself  try  one  of  these  plasters —

NEURASTHENIA  OR  NERVOUS 
PROSTRATION

fear,  sleeplessness,  physical  exhaustion, 
poor  appetite,  spells  of  dizziness,  trem- 
bling, palpitation  of  the  heart,  backache 
and  headache  in  the  back  of  the  head. 

Treatment — Absolute  rest  is  essential. 
Plenty  of  fresh  air  and  deep  breathing 
is  beneficial.  Avoid  flesh  foods.  Drink

Is  an  inflammation  of  a nerve.  It  may

or  only  a single  branch.  Exposure  to  a 
severe  cold  wind  is  the  most  common 
cause.  Other  causes  are  injury,  strain, 
or  severe  pressure,  and  the  aftermath 
of  severe  illness.  The  most  important 
symptom  is  a peculiar  shooting  pain. 

Treatment — D etermine  the  cause. 
Avoid  exposure  to  cold  and  dampness. 
Rest  the  part  involved.  If  the  pain  is 
severe  take  1 or  2 Annistan  Tablets.

Luca  Leaves  Compound — This  is  a 

combination  of  leaves  from  California

SCIATICA 

Sciatica  is  a form  of  Neuritis.  The 
leading  symptom  is  a pain  along  the 
track  of  nerve.  The  pain  is  felt  behind 
the  thigh,  from  the  hip  down,  towards 
the  knee  and  sometimes  down  to  the 
heel. 

Treatment — Most  cases  are  very  obsti- 
nate and  require  long  treatment;  the

ness across  the  loins  and  back. 

Treatment — Same  as  for  Rheumatism. 

RHEUMATISM 

Rheumatism  is  an  ailment  that  is  fre- 
quently complicated  by  other  affections. 
Lumbago  and  Sciatica  are  forms  of  this 
disease,  and  should  be  treated  according 
to  its  location. 

MUSCULAR  RHEUMATISM 

Muscular  Rheumatism  is  mostly  due 
to  exposure  to  damp,  cold  weather.  There 
is  usually  fever,  painful  tenderness,  sore- 
ness, lameness  and  swelling  of  the  af- 
fected part  and  the  disease  may  shift 
from  one  part  to  another.  It  is  gen- 
erally confined  to  the  joints  and  extremi- 
ties of  the  arms  and  legs,  but  may  in- 
volve any  part  of  the  body. 

Treatment — Take  1 or  2 Annistan  Tab- 
lets to  relieve  the  pain  if  too  severe. 
Rest,  in  bed  or  easy  chair,  is  essential. 
Eat  only  plain  food,  avoiding  acids, 
sweets,  meats  and  pastries  and  other 
rich  foods.  Drink  plenty  of  lemon  juice 
and  water  and  take  a good  alterative  or 
anti-rheumatic  remedy,  and  keep  bowels 
open  with  No.  99  Calumet  Herb  Laxative

Treatment — See  Rheumatism. 

BRONCHIAL  TROUBLES 

In  affections  of  the  pulmonary  organs, 
diet,  sunlight,  and  proper  nursing  can 
do  more  than  medicine.  Local  remedies 
are  often  useful.  The  botanical  demul- 
cents, diaphoretics  and  refrigerants  and 
expectorants  listed  here  can  merely  aid

BRONCHITIS 

Is  an  inflammation  of  the  mucous 
membrane  lining  the  air  passages  of  the 
throat  and  chest,  shown  by  hoarseness, 
cough,  fever  and  soreness  in  the  chest. 

Treatment — Give  No.  99  Tea  as  a laxa- 
tive. Inhale  vapors  of  No.  903  Cedar 
Forest  Aireol  or  Eucamint  Pain  Relief 
by  placing  a small  quantity  in  boiling  hot 
water.  Use  No.  61  Juniperole,  or  any  of 
our  Cough  medicines,  for  their  expecto- 
rant properties. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  mild 
expectorants  are:  Mullein,  Coughwort, 
Hoarhound,  Sundew,  Yarrow,  Linden 
Flowers,  Honey,  Marshmallow,  Figwort 
and  Flax  Seed. 

The  prepared  formulas  already  mixed 
ready  for  use  are:  No.  8 Wild  Cherry 
Pectoral,  No.  203  Bavarian  Herb  Tea,  No. 
221  German  Breast  Tea,  and  No.  223 
Floral  Breast  Tea. 

PLEURISY 

This  comes  on  suddenly,  with  a chill, 
fever,  and  sharp,  stabbing  pains,  called 
stitches  in  the  side.  The  pains  are  made 
worse  by  coughing,  pressure,  or  deep  in- 
spiration. There  is  also  a frequent,  dry 
cough,  parched  tongue.  The  patient  lies 
on  the  back  or  affected  side.  If  the  lung 
is  involved,  the  sputa  or  expectoration 
will  be  adhesive  and  streaked  with  blood. 

Note — This  disease  is  of  a serious 
nature  and  should  be  treated  by  a 

18 


physician.  Under  conditions  where  no 
physician  can  be  obtained,  give  at  once 
a good  botanic  tea.  Apply  hot,  wet 
cloths  to  affected  side  and  give  a hot 
footbath.  Great  care  must  be  taken  to 
avoid  exposure  and  not  to  go  out  too 
soon. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
Expectorants  and  Diaphoretics  are:  Pleu- 
risy Root,  Wahoo  Bark  or  Root,  Hoar-

HAY  FEVER 

Hay  Fever  and  Rose  Catarrh  are  the 
names  by  which  a peculiar  yearly  recur- 
ring catarrhal  affection  is  known.  The 
access  is  sudden,  often  attended  with 
violent  sneezing;  also  running  from  the 
eyes  and  nose  of  thin,  irritating  water; 
redness  and  itching  of  the  nose  and 
eyes;  general  irritability  and  lassitude. 
The  disease  is  less  in  high,  mountainous 
regions,  or  at  the  sea.  It  is  aggravated 
by  dust,  and  by  pollen  of  hay  and  flow- 
ers. Sea  bathing  is  often  beneficial,  and 
a sea-voyage  often  affords  entire  relief. 

Treatment — See  treatment  for  Catarrh. 
Also  look  carefully  through  our  Almanac. 
Several  remedies  have  been  submitted 
by  readers. 

ASTHMA 

Asthma  is  known  by  occasional  par- 
oxysms of  difficult  breathing,  lasting 
from  a few  hours  to  several  days,  com- 
ing on  at  intervals,  to  be  followed  by 
remissions,  during  which  the  patient 
breathes  with  comparative  ease.  The  at- 
tack returns  again,  either  at  regular  in- 
tervals, or  is  provoked  by  exposure  to 
cold,  damp  air,  severe  effort  or  even 
mental  emotions;  during  the  attack,  the 
respiration  is  labored,  wheezing,  sighing, 
loud;  accompanied  with  anxiety  and  fre- 
quent cough.  Sometimes  the  lips  and 
face  become  bluish,  and  toward  its  close, 
or  even  during  its  entire  continuance, 
free  expectoration  of  mucous. 

Treatment — It  is  doubtful  if  the  same 
botanicals  will  affect  every  person  in  the 
same  degree,  therefore,  we  can  only  list 
such  as  have  been  found  useful  as  Anti- 

19 


spasmodics  and  Carminatives.  The  Herb 
Doctor’s  choice  of  botanicals  are:  Wild 
Plum  Bark,  Skunk  Cabbage,  Wild  Cherry 
Bark,  Elder  Flowers,  Elder  Berries,  Hoar- 
hound,  Mullein,  Nettle,  Speedwell,  Ele- 
campane, Celandine,  Grindelia;  the 
ready  mixed  formulas  are:  No.  137  Juni- 
per Berry  Compound,  No.  203  Bavarian 
Herb  Tea,  No.  182  Birch  Mountain  Tea, 
No.  221  German  Breast  Tea  and  No.  223 
Floral  Breast  Tea. 

There  are  also  a large  number  of 
common  household  remedies  such  as: 
Eating  raw  onions,  red  cabbage,  raw 
linseed  oil.  See  our  Almanac.  If  you 
have  none,  send  for  one;  they  are  free. 
As  a local  treatment  the  following  will 
be  found  useful:  No.  903  Cedar  Forest 
Aireol,  No.  310  Catarrh  Smoke,  No.  133 
Medicated  Cotton,  No.  233  Pinol  Spray 
(this  is  often  also  taken  internally,  1 
teaspoonful  2 or  3 times  a day).  Also  see 
treatment  for  catarrh. 

CONGESTION  OF  THE  CHEST 

This  is  usually  attended  with  a feel- 
ing of  oppression  and  tightness;  some- 
times there  is  a short,  irritating  cough. 
This  congestion  is  often  brought  on  by 
exposure. 

Treatment — Any  of  the  following  bo- 
tanicals are  useful  as  expectorants  if 
taken  cold.  Formula  No.  221  German 
Breast  Tea,  203  Bavarian  Herb  Tea,  and 
No.  182  Birch  Mountain  Tea. 

WEAK  LUNGS— CONSUMPTION 

In  these  ailments,  fresh  air,  sunlight 
and  the  proper  nourishing  food  can  do 
more  than  medicine.  Keep  bowels  open 
with  No.  99  Calumet  Herb  Laxative  Tea. 
Drink  plenty  of  Natural  Mineral  Spring 
Ore  Water.  Eat  plenty  of  vegetables 
and  food  rich  in  vitamines  and  mineral 
salts.  Take  Coltsfoot  Tea  as  an  expec- 
torant to  relieve  the  coughing  spells. 

There  are  a number  of  ailments  for 
which  no  recognized  cure  has  been  found 
yet  the  patient  lives  his  full  span  of  life 
by  arresting  the  ailment  with  common 
sense  living  methods. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanicals 
for  relieving  coughing  spells  and  to  aid 
expectoration  are:  Coltsfoot,  Mullein 
Leaves,  Hoarhound,  Holy  Herb,  German 
Cheese  Plant,  Marshmallow  Root,  Elm 
Bark,  Linden  Flowers,  Nettle  Leaves,

PNEUMONIA 

This  is  a disease  of  dangerous  char- 
acter. It  may  affect  one  or  both  sides 
of  the  chest,  the  double  form  being  the 
more  serious.  It  comes  on  often  unno- 
ticed at  first  after  a cold,  with  rest- 
lessness, a chill,  and  fever,  and  occa- 
sionally is  well  seated  before  its  irue 
character  is  known.  There  is  a deep- 
seated  dull  pain  or  oppression  under  the 
shoulder  blades,  side,  or  breast;  fre- 
quent short  coughs  and  expectoration  of 
sticky,  adhesive  matter  of  a green,  yel- 
low or  rust  color,  usually  tinged  or 
mixed  with  blood.  The  breathing  is  op- 
pressed, short  and  hurried.  The  skin  is 
hot  over  the  ribs  and  armpits;  the  nose 
is  dry,  eyes  are  tearless.  There  is  great 
thirst.  The  speech  is  interrupted  and 
hurried  in  bad  cases.  The  pulse  varies — 
sometimes  rapid  and  full,  at  others  hard 
and  wiry,  or  quick  and  weak.  The  urine 
is  reddish,  scanty  and  sometimes  burns 
and  the  patient  lies  on  the  affected  side 
or  on  the  back. 

Note — This  disease  is  of  a serious  na- 
ture and  should  be  treated  when  possible 
by  a physician.  Put  the  patient  to 
bed  and  give  a good  botanic  tea.  Rub 
the  chest  with  Triple  Strength  Mustor- 
ine  No.  142  and  apply  a hot  water  bag. 
or  cloths  wrung  out  of  hot  water  to  the 
chest,  cover  with  dry  flannel  if  the  op- 
pression is  severe.  Also  sprinkle  No. 
903  Cedar  Forest  Aireol  on  patient’s  pil- 
low. The  patient  must  be  kept  in  a well 
ventilated  room,  very  quiet,  and  have 
only  a very  light  diet.  These  means 
will  gradually  relieve  the  oppression,  al- 
lay the  fever,  induce  free  perspiration. 
The  patient  must  avoid  exposure  until 
quite  recovered.  Plenty  of  fresh  air  is 
most  important.  Add  lemon  juice  to  all 
drinking  water. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
expectorants  are:  Pleurisy  Root,  Lung- 
wort, Coughfort,  Honey,  Wild  Cherry. 
The  prepared  formulas  ready  for  use 
are:  No.  22  Jesuits  Fever  Bark  Com-

risy Root,  No.  221  German  Breast  Tea 
and  No.  223  Floral  Breast  Tea. 

STOMACH  AND  BOWEL 
DISORDERS 

These  are  almost  entirely  due  to  im- 
proper diet.  The  botanicals  mentioned 
are  not  held  out  as  specifics  for  these 
disorders.  They  are  recommended  mere- 

I 21 


ly  for  their  bitter  tonic  effect,  improv- 
ing and  increasing  the  gastric  juice,  or, 
as  is  the  case  with  demulcents,  to  soothe 
or  lubricate  the  organs  or  passage.  They 
are  in  the  main  mild  tonics,  laxatives 
and  demulcents. 

DYSPEPSIA — WEAK  STOMACH 

Thousands  of  persons  suffer  from  oc- 
casional stomach  disorders.  With  some 
it  is  but  a temporary  indisposition, 
caused  by  fatigue,  or  some  error  in  diet, 
symptoms  being  loss  of  appetite,  coated 
tongue,  bad  taste  in  the  mouth,  espe- 
cially in  the  morning. 

With  others,  it  is  a permanent  affec- 
tion, with  constant  weakness  of  the  di- 
gestion so  that  even  the  mildest  food 
causes  heaviness  or  uneasiness.  There 
is  also  constipation  and  lowness  of  spir- 
its which  mark  the  confirmed  dyspeptic. 
Sometimes,  even  the  slightest  food 
causes  a sensation  of  fullness  of  the 
stomach  and  a feeling  of  weight  and 
heaviness,  as  if  a stone  lay  in  tb ; 
stomach;  tight  clothes  are  insupportab  t 
and  there  is  tenderness  of  the  part  or 
pressure.  Often  the  food  will  rise  again 
to  the  mouth  with  a taste  of  sourness. 
Piles  and  flatulency  are  often  symptoms. 

Treatment — People  who  suffer  from 
dyspepsia  should  be  careful  of  their 
diet.  They  should  eat  very  moderately, 
chew  the  food  well,  taking  plenty  of 
time  for  meals,  and  drink  no  fluid  while 
eating.  An  hour  before  each  meal  take 
a good  stomach  tonic,  and  on  retiring  at 
night,  take  one  Vitamol  Wafer  as  a mild 
laxative. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
Carminatives  and  Tonics  are:  Gentian 
Root,  Wormwood,  Angelica,  Juniper  Ber- 
ries, Elecampane,  Black  Alder,  Rhu- 
barb, Wild  Cherry,  Strawberry  Reaves, 
Red  Raspberry  Leaves,  Balmony.  The 
prepared  formulas  are:  No.  10  Father 
John’s  Stomach  Tea,  No.  11  Father  Ber- 
nard’s Stomach  Tea,  No.  12  Hop  Bitters, 
No.  99  Calumet  Herb  Laxative  Tea  and 
No.  999  Body  Tonic  Tea. 

ACUTE  INDIGESTION 

Is  caused  by  over-eating  or  eating 
food  which  “disagrees”  with  the  stomach 
or  it  sometimes  appears  at  intervals  of  a 
few  weeks  for  no  apparent  cause.  It 
usually  is  a fixed,  violent  pain  at  the 
pit  of  the  stomach.  Sometimes  there  is 
nausea  and  vomiting,  the  pain  is  not 
steady  but  comes  and  goes  and  the  re- 
gion of  the  stomach  is  often  bloated  and 
tender  to  the  touch. 

Acute  indigestion  is  sometimes  very 

22 


serious.  Treatment  should  be  started 
immediately  and  continued  until  the  pa- 
tient is  entirely  recovered. 

Treatment — For  a sudden  attack  of 
acute  indigestion  take  four  to  six  tablets 
of  No.  99  as  a carminative  cathartic. 
Repeat  this  treatment  in  an  hour  if  nec- 
essary. The  patient  should  remain 
quiet  until  completely  relieved.  A hot 
water  bag  at  the  pit  of  the  stomach  will 
often  help. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
Cathartics  are:  Sacred  Bark,  Turtle- 
bloom,  Wormwood,  Senna  Leaves,  But- 
ternut Bark.  The  prepared  formulas 
are:  No.  99  Calumet  Herb  Laxative  Tea 
and  No.  11  Father  Bernard’s  Stomach 

CONSTIPATION 

Constipation  is  usually  caused  by 
overlooking  matters  of  hygiene,  such  as 
want  of  sufficient  exercise,  drinking  too 
little  water,  too  concentrated  a diet,  ir- 
regularities in  the  time  of  eating  and  of 
going  to  the  toilet;  also  eating  foods 
that  do  not  contain  the  necesary  amount 
of  roughage,  such  as  bran  and  coarse 
vegetables. 

The  symptoms  of  constipation  are 
sluggishness,  drowsiness,  dizziness,  no 
appetite,  bad  taste  in  the  mouth,  Dad 
breath,  a full  feeling  on  the  abdomen, 
which  is  hard  upon  pressure,  and  is 
sometimes  distended;  there  may  also  be 
headache  and  muddy  or  sallow  complex- 
ion. 

Treatment — Take  two  or  four  tabiets 
of  No.  99  as  a laxative  before  retiring, 
then  gradually  decrease  the  dose  until 
you  reach  the  least  amount  that  will 
give  you  one  or  two  good  movements 
daily.  Go  to  the  toilet  regularly  at 
fixed  times;  take  plenty  of  exercise; 
drink  at  least  six  glasses  of  water  daily; 
and  avoid  eating  too  much  meat;  replace 
it  with  plenty  of  fruit  and  green  vege- 
tables. 

Vitamol  Wafers  are  the  very  best 
thing  we  have  for  chronic  constipation, 
especially  effective  if  dissolved  in  slight- 
ly soured  milk  or  buttermilk. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
Laxatives  are:  Sacred  Bark,  Senna, 
Psyllium  Seed,  Figs,  Prunes,  Bran,  Sea 
Weed  or  Agar,  Butternut  Bark,  Turtle- 
bloom,  Mandrake  Root,  Culvers  Root, 
Virginia  Snake  Root  and  Boneset. 

The  prepared  formulas  are.  For  chil- 
dren— Fig  Candy  Laxative,  No.  2033  Vi-

DYSENTERY 

This  is  a disease  which  is  frequently 
fatal  in  summer  and  autumn.  The  first 
symptom  is  usually  a sensation  of 
heaviness  and  weight  about  the  anus, 
soon  followed  by  a desire  for  a stool. 
Or,  there  may  be  diarrhoea  for  a day  or 
two,  then  the  evacuations  become  more 
tedious,  scanty  and  attended  with  strain- 
ing and  a desire  to  continue  the  effort, 
as  if  the  evacuation  could  not  be  com- 
pleted. The  evacuations  consist  of  mu- 
cous, mixed  more  or  less  with  blood. 
Before  and  during  evacuations  there  are 
violent  cutting  pains,  pressing  pains  in 
the  bowels,  often  very  severe.  In  some 
cases  there  is  violent  fever;  in  others 
there  is  little  or  none. 

Treatment — First  wash  out  the  bowels 
with  Citrate  of  Magnesia,  Salts  or  Castor 
Oil.  Take  Bismuth  subnitrate  tablets,  2 
every  half  hour.  This  is  not  a medicine 
— merely  a protective  coating  for  the 
bowels.  After  the  disease  has  run  its 
course  a weak  tea  of  Blackberry  Root  as 
an  astringent  may  be  taken — this  tea 
can  gradually  be  taken  stronger.  The 
patient  should  keep  quiet,  avoid  exercise 
or  labor  of  any  kind,  lie  down,  and  con- 
fine himself  strictly,  during  the  whole 
course  of  the  disease,  to  a porridge  made 
of  milk  and  flour,  well  cooked,  or  to 
farina  gruel,  rice-water  and  boiled  rice. 
No  vegetables  or  fruit  can  be  allowed; 
nor  meat  nor  meat  broths.  Absolutely 
no  sugar  should  be  taken;  even  a small 
amount  will  cause  an  aggravation  of  the 
condition. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  mild 
Astringents  and  Demulcents  are:  Black- 
berry Root,  Wild  Alum  Root,  Yarrow, 
Bilberry  Leaves,  Iceland  Moss,  Marsh- 
mallow, Wild  Strawberry  Leaves,  Red 
Raspberry  Leaves,  Bayberry  Bark,  Benne 
Leaves,  Butternut  Bark,  Columbo, 
Cheese  plant,  Matico,  Persimmon  Bark, 
Rhubarb,  St.  Johnswort,  Sumbul,  Water 
Pepper,  Water  Avens  Root.  The  already 
mixed  formulas  are:  No.  99  Calumet 
Herb  Laxative  Tea,  No.  33  Demulcent 
Tea,  and  No.  34  Prairie  Plant  Compound. 


COLIC,  INFANTS 

Treatment — Give  warm  Fennel  Tea 
made  by  placing  a heaping  teaspoonful 
of  the  fresh  seed  in  saucer  of  boiling 
water,  allow  to  cool  until  quite  warm. 
Give  a teaspoonful  or  more.  Relief  is 
almost  instant.  Our  No.  49  Baby  Fennel 
Tea  is  especially  valuable  for  this  ail- 
ment. These  teas  may  be  sweetened.

Marvel  Internal  Emollient — This  is  a 
purely  vegetable  combination  of  seeds 
and  plants  that  act  admirably  on  the 
stomach  and  intestinal  tract. 

It  absorbs  moisture  and  acids  that 
may  be  present  and  passes  them  out  of 
the  system  by  way  of  the  rectum. 

It  contains  natural  oils  in  the  seeds 
that  have  a soothing  and  allaying  effect 
on  inflamed  and  mucous  membrane. 

It  contains  a mucilaginous  substance 
that  is  an  excellent  demulcent  and  sooth- 
ing emollient.  This  effect  is  such  that 
it  acts  as  a mechanical  lubricant  to  the 
bowels — and  is  scientifically  classed  as  a 
mild  laxative — far  superior  to  mineral 
oils  so  much  advertised  these  days. 

It  contains  a fibrous  matter — that  aids 
the  bowel  movement  and  adds  bulk  and 
roughage  to  the  bowel  contents. 

It  contains  a slightly  bitter  principle 
in  several  of  the  plants  that  acts  as  a 
very  mild  tonic. 

This  preparation  is  entirely  harmless 
and  may  be  used  with  any  other  medica- 
tion except  where  no  food  of  any  kind 
is  permitted. 

The  average  dose  is  1 to  3 teaspoon- 
fuls of  the  ground  material  3 times  a 
day — preferably  y2  hour  before  meals 
or  y2  hour  after  meals,  or  whenever 
there  is  bloating  or  indication  of  an 
acid  condition  of  the  stomach.  Give  it 
to  the  children  if  they  can  take  it — it 
is  harmless  and  beneficial. 

These  herbs  may  also  be  made  into  a 
tea  but  will  probably  be  not  nearly  as 
effective  as  when  swallowed  dry. 

Diet — It  is  advisable  to  abstain  from 
meat,  pastries  and  sweets.  Eat  vege- 
tables— cooked  or  raw.  Drink  at  least 
one  cupful  of  milk  each  day. 

Note — -If  this  article  is  used  as  an 
adjunct  in  the  treatment  of  Catarrh  of 
the  Stomach,  Mucous  Colitis  and  similar 
complaints,  this  preparation  can  be  im- 
proved by  adding  contents  of  a 25c  box 
of  Golden  Seal  Powder  to  each  50c  box 
of  the  Emollient;  or  a $1.00  size  box  to 
a $2.00  box  of  the  Emollient.

which  does  not  put  on  flesh,  digestive 
disturbances. 

Treatment — Follow  same  directions  as 
for  Round  Worms  but  take  larger  doses

ous disorders,  changes  in  shape  of  head, 
chest,  restlessness,  nausea,  abdominal 
distension  and  often  delayed  teething 
and  deformity  of  teeth. 

Treatment  — Call  a specialist.  Give 
plenty  of  bone  building  food,  rich  in 
minerals,  especially  calcium.  Milk  is 
very  good  for  this  purpose.  Here  is  one 
case  where  No.  3003  Natural  Mineral 
Spring  Ore  Water  will  be  found  of  great 
service  as  a drink.  Orange  and  Lemon

PILES 

This  disease  is  well  known.  The  piles 
may  swell,  burst  and  bleed  profusely, 
forming  what  are  known  as  bleeding 
piles.  The  loss  of  blood  rarely  weakens 
the  patient.  In  some  cases  there  is  little 
discharge  of  blood,  but  frequent  dis- 
charge of  mucous  attended  with  much 
irritation  and  violent  itching.  When 
there  is  only  a slight  attack,  there  is  only 
itching  of  the  parts. 

Treatment — Apply  Pile  Ointment  after 
each  stool  and  at  night  before  retiring. 
This  ointment  is  soothing  to  the  inflamed 
parts.  To  receive  permanent  benefit  and 
to  relieve  the  congestion  which  caused 
the  piles,  take  a good  demulcent  tea  such 
as  our  No.  33  and  Vitamol  Wafers. 

Piles  or  hemorrhoids  are  usually  the 
result  of  constipation.  It  is  essential 
to  keep  the  bowels  open  by  means  of  No. 
99  Calumet  Herb  Laxative  Compound  or 
Vitamol  Wafers.  See  Constitpation. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
Demulcents  are:  Sweet  Weed,  Flax  Seed, 
Wallwort,  Mullein,  Cheese  Plant,  Agar 
Agar,  Pilewort,  Sweet  Marjoram,  Dwarf 
Elder,  Chickory.  The  prepared  formulas 
are:  No.  33  Demulcent  Tea,  No.  99  Calu- 
met Herb  Laxative  Compound,  No.  34 
Prairie  Plant  Compound  and  Vitamol 
Wafers. 


SKIN  DISEASES 

The  botanicals  listed  are  mostly  of  a 
mild  alterative  nature.  Here  again 
proper  diet,  fresh  air  and  sunlight  build 
up  resistance  to  disease,  and  medicine 
and  drugs,  except  for  local  application 
are  quite  useless. 

The  skin  is  an  index  to  health.  It 
is  like  a barometer,  indicating  the  state 
of  our  body  and  certain  organs.  It  de- 
mands scrupulous  cleanliness.  The 
pores  should  be  kept  open.  There  is  no 
better  tonic  for  the  whole  system  than 
bathing  in  cold  water  followed  by  a vig- 
orous rubbing. 

It  is  common  practise  to  treat  erup- 
tions of  the  skin  by  means  of  external 
applications,  but  eruptions  rarely  form 
upon  the  surface  of  the  skin  unless 
there  is  something  wrong  with  the  sys- 
tem. Therefore,  there  is  the  necessity 
of  treating  all  such  eruptions  with  in- 
ternal remedies  in  addition  to  the  ex- 
ternal applications.

IRONITE 


No.  2036— Price,  $2.00  a bottle. 


The  Household  Giant  Iron  Liquid 
FOR  MAN  OR  BEAST — This  universal  rem- 
edy has  hundreds  of  uses.  It  may  be  used 
freely,  and  with  good  results  as  an  external  ap- 
plication on  any  sore,  ulcer,  boil  or  rash,  irri- 
tation, inflammation  or  eruptions  on  man  or 
beast.  It  cannot  do  harm.  Better  than  Iodine 
for  home  use,  and  not  painful.  May  be  used 
in  hundreds  of  ways— where  Iodine  cannot. 

It  is  non-poisonous — containing  none  of  the 
powerful  chemicals  so  universally  used  in 
other  antiseptics — which  in  time  are  absorbed 
— and  affect  the  heart.  Many  deaths  are  due 
to  the  use  of  antiseptic  douches  and  mouth 
washes,  containing  Bichloride  of  Mercury  and 
other  powerful  poisons,  although  these  are 
seldom  suspected. 

Remember  this — it  is  important  to  keep 
Ironite  in  contact  with  the  diseased  tissue  as 
long  as  possible — as  the  more  Iron  is  ab- 
sorbed, the  better  the  results.  If  used  as  a 
mouth  wash,  keep  it  in  the  imouth  and  around 
the  teeth  for  5 to  10  minutes.  If  used  on 
sores,  ulcers,  and  boils — renew  as  often  as  it 
becomes  dry.  If  snuffed  up  into  the  nose — 
hold  it  there  as  long  as  possible — a few  min- 
utes, at  least — or  repeat  the  operation  fre- 
quently. 

FOR  CATARRH  OF  THE  NOSE— Here  is 
one  place  where  Ironite  does  marvelous  work. 
You  will  be  surprised  and  delighted  with  the 
change  for  better  in  your  condition  after  just 
a few  days*  use  of  Ironite.  Pour  a small 
quantity  of  Ironite  into  the  palm  of  the  hand 
and  snuff  it  up  into  the  nose,  until  it  can  be 
tasted  in  the  mouth,  and  expectorate.  Do  this 
two  times  in  succession  and  note  the  amount 
of  diseased  mucous  Ironite  loosens  and  is 
expectorated. 


AS  A DOUCHE  FOR  WOMEN— Here  again 
Ironite  will  perform  such  marvels  that  we  are 
confident  no  woman  once  using  Ironite  will 
ever  be  without  it. 


32 


FOR  SKIN  AFFECTIONS— Rathe  the  af- 
fected parts  with  warm  water,  and  dry  thor~ 
oughly.  Apply  Ironite  with  a small  brush 
or  cloth  and  allow  to  dry  without  wiping. 
This  may  be  done  at  night  before  retiring. 


FOR  CUTS  AND  BRUISES— Bathe  afflicted 
parts  with  warm  water  and  soap,  dry  and  ap- 
ply a clean  cloth  soaked  with  Ironite  and 
bandage. 


FOR  BOILS,  SORES,  AND  ULCERS— Bathe 
the  afflicted  parts  with  warm  water  and  apply 
Ironite  and  allow  to  dry  on — or  apply  cotton 
soaked  with  Ironite  and  bandage.  Sores  and 
ulcers  will  heal  quickly  and  boils  will  not 
spread  with  the  frequent  use  of  this  marvel- 
ous household  remedy. 

FOR  PILES — After  sponging  the  anus  with 
warm  water,  apply  Ironite  with  a soft  cloth, 
and  allow  to  dry.  Best  results,  however,  are 
obtained  by  making  an  ointment  by  melting 
*4  lb.  lard  and  adding  one  or  two  ounces  of 
Ironite,  stirring  constantly  until  the  lard 
cools. 

FOR  CHAPS — Follow  same  directions  as 
for  skin  diseases.  Or  it  may  be  used  as  an 
ointment  as  for  piles. 

FOR  TONSILITIS  AND  THROAT  TROU- 
BLES— Gargle  with  Ironite — keeping  it  in  con- 
tact with  the  affected  parts  as  long  as  pos- 
sible, but  do  not  swallow.  Ironite  is  not  an 
internal  remedy.  Do  this  two  or  three  times 
a day. 


33 


PRICKLY  HEAT 

Is  very  anonying.  It  consists  of 
small  vesicles  filled  with  a watery  fluid 
and  producing-  a continuous  redness  or 
inflammatory  blush  of  the  skin.  These 
vesicles  break,  forming  small,  thin 
scales.  They  are  attended  with  itching, 
burning  and  often  with  fever. 
Prickly  heat  is  the  result  of  excessive 
heat,  or  living  in  unwholesome  air  and 
eating  improper  food. 

Treatment — Bathe  the  affected  parts 
with  Medicated  Witch  Hazel.  Keep  the 
bowels  open  by  a dose  of  No.  99  Calu- 
met Herb  Laxative  Tea.  Drink  plenty 
of  lemonade. 

The  Herb  Doctor's  choice  of  mild  bo- 
tanical Alteratives  are:  Yellow  Dock,

pound. Also  see  No.  2036  Ironite,  No.

ECZEMA 

Is  an  inflammation  of  the  skin  and 
may  be  acute  or  chronic.  It  may  ap- 
pear on  the  face,  around  the  mouth,  or 
on  the  ears,  cheeks  or  forehead,  or  any 
part  of  the  body,  with  rough,  scaly 
chapped  skin,  attended  with  itching  and 
burning;  the  crusts  fall  off,  leaving  an 
angry,  sore  surface,  upon  which  the 
crusts  form  anew. 

Treatment — During  the  first  course  of 
this  disease,  it  is  most  important  to  keep 
the  bowels  open  by  the  occasional  use  of 
No.  99.  Diet  is  of  extreme  importance. 
All  salty,  greasy  and  fried  food,  also 
pastry  and  cheese,  should  be  avoided. 
The  affected  parts  should  be  cleansed 
with  Medicated  Witch  Hazel,  avoiding 
the  use  of  water,  and  powdered  with  No. 
39  Medicated  Dusting  Powder.

Treatment — Keep  bowels  open  by  use 
of  No.  99.  Bathe  the  affected  parts 
with  Medicated  Witch  Hazel.  Use  same 
treatment  as  for  Prickly  Heat. 

SHINGLES 

Is  a form  of  eruption  composed  of 
small  sac-like  bodies,  which  come  out 
in  blisters  on  the  breast  or  sides,  extend- 
ing partly  around  the  body  like  a belt. 

Treatment — Same  as  for  Prickly  Heat. 

BOILS 

Boils  are  too  common  to  require  a de- 
scription. 

Treatment — Cover  the  boil  with  a 
piece  of  gauze  kept  saturated  with  No. 
187  Bacterioleum.  After  pus  or  matter 
has  formed  the  boil  should  be  opened 
with  a needle  that  has  been  passed 
through  a flame  and  carefully  wiped. 
The  pus  can  be  very  gently  pressed  out 
and  a fresh  dressing  of  Bacterioleum 
applied.  Persons  subject  to  boils  should 
take  No.  99  at  least  every  two  weeks, 
and  should  build  up  a resistance  by  tak- 
ing a good  Alterative  tonic. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  mild  bo- 
tanical Alteratives  and  Tonics  are: 
Inner  bark  of  Birch,  Yellow  Dock,  Seven 
Barks,  Queen’s  Delight,  Prickly  Ash 
Bark,  Strawberry  Leaves,  Red  Raspberry 
Leaves,  Blue  Flag,  Rocky  Mountain 
Grape  Root,  Elder  Berries,  Elder  Flow- 
ers, Chickweed,  Tetterwort  and  Violet 
Leaves.  The  prepared  formulas  are:  No. 
600  Yellow  Dock  Clover  Compound,  No. 
1000  Clover  Blue  Flag  Compound,  No. 
999  Body  Tonic  Tea,  No.  131  Mormon 
Valley  Herb  Compound.  Also  see  No. 
44  Old  Tamarack  Poultice,  No.  2036  Iron- 
ite,  and  above  all.  No.  187  Bacterioleum 
for  Boils.  Ironite  is  excellent  for  wash- 
ing out  wounds  left  by  boils. 

FEVER  BLISTERS  OR  COLD  SORES 

Too  well  known  to  require  a descrip- 
tion. 

Treatment — At  the  first  sight  of  swell- 
ing apply  No.  755  Blisterine  or  No.  67 
Menthone  or  No.  2036  Ironite.  If  ap- 
plied in  time,  any  of  them  will  prevent 
the  sores  from  breaking  out.  If  the 
sores  already  appear,  use  Ironite.  Iron- 
ite will  aid  to  heal  them  quickly.  Apply 
with  a tooth-pick  and  allow  to  dry.  Ap- 
ply several  times.  Take  a good  Body 
Tonic  Tea  to  build  up  resistance.

POISON  IVY 

Apply  Poison  Ivy  Absorbent  Powder 
to  the  afflicted  parts  as  thick  as  pos- 
sible— 14  inch  if  possible — and  bandage. 
This  absorbs  the  poison  and  in  most 
cases  relief  is  obtained  over  night. 
Where  the  poison  has  had  a chance  to 
spread  apply  Ironite  or  Poison  Ivy  Lo- 
tion. These  are  seldom  necessary  if  the 
Poison  Ivy  Absorbent  is  used  in  time. 
See  Price  List  in  last  pages  of  this 
book. 


RINGWORM 

Bathe  the  afflicted  parts  with  Medi- 
cated Witch  Hazel.  If  of  long  standing, 
apply  Ringworm  Paint  or  Sulphur  Tar 
Salve  after  bathing. 

ITCH  OR  SCABIES 

This  is  a contagious  parasitic  skin  dis- 
ease. It  is  difficult  to  treat  because  the 
mite  burrows  under  the  skin. 

Treatment — Bathe  frequently  with  hot 
water  and  our  Vegetable  Oil  Soap  and 
apply  No.  3 Sulphur  Tar  Salve. 

SCALDS,  BURNS  AND  CHAPPED 
HANDS 

Use  our  celebrated  Burn  Ointment. 

URINARY  DISEASES 

There  are  no  certain  specifics  for 
these  ailments.  Nature,  and  not  the 
doctor,  does  the  curing.  The  botanicals 
listed  are  mostly  mild  diuretics  and  de- 
mulcents. Botanical  demulcents  are  by 
their  nature  not  curative — but  soothing 
emollients  to  the  urinary  pasages. 

The  kidneys  and  the  channels  which 
discharge  the  urine  are  parts  of  the 
same  system;  and  whatever  disease  af- 
fects the  one  is  apt  to  involve  the  other. 
These  important  organs  of  elimination 
are  subject  to  the  helpful  influence  of 
botanic  demulcent  teas. 

Chronic  disease  of  the  kidneys  is 
shown  by  pain  and  weakness  in  the 
small  of  the  back.  Discharges  of  scanty, 
muddy,  thick  urine,  variously  colored — 
sometimes  depositing  a pus-like  or 
brick-dust  sediment.  These  are  serious 
conditions  which  call  for  immediate  and 
persistent  treatment. 

CATARRH  OF  THE  BLADDER 

Often  inflammation  of  the  bladder  re- 
sults in  a chronic  thickening  of  the  mu- 
cous membrane  of  the  bladder,  urethra 

37 


and  prostate  gland.  There  is  unusual 
desire  to  urinate;  the  fluid  is  spasmod- 
ically ejected  in  small  quantities,  and 
the  passage  is  attended  with  burning  or 
pain.  The  pain  may  be  confined  to  the 
bladder,  around  the  pelvis  or  down  the 
thighs,  or  extend  to  the  end  of  the  penis. 
When  the  disease  has  became  chronic, 
mucous  or  pus  is  passed  with  the  urine, 
thus  constituting  what  is  called  catarrh 
of  the  bladder. 

Treatment — Take  No.  99  Calumet  Herb 
Laxative  Tea  to  open  the  bowels  and 
drink  demulcent  botanical  teas  and  con- 
sult a specialist. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
Demulcents  are:  Cheese  Plant,  Wallwort, 
Marshmallow  Root,  Cubeb  Berries, 
Horsetail  Grass,  Sweet  Pern.  The  pre- 
pared formulas  are:  No.  112  U.  U.  Tea 
and  No.  132  Wild  Swamp  Root  Com- 
pound. 

GONORRHEA  AND  GLEET 

A purulent  inflammation  of  the  mu- 
cous membrane  of  the  genitals  of  both 
sexes.  It  may  be  acute,  subacute  or 
chronic. 

Treatment — Consult  only  a specialist 
of  high  repute.  Much  harm  can  be  done 
by  quacks  and  inexperienced  doctors. 
Take  No.  99  Calumet  Herb  Laxative 
Tea  to  keep  the  bowels  open.  Use 
soothing  Demulcent  herb  teas.  Keep  the 
organs  clean  by  frequent  bathing;  and 
douches  for  females.  Destroy  or  thor- 
oughly sterilize  all  bandages  and  cloth- 
ing. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
Demulcents  are:  Sweet  Pern,  Golden 
Seal,  Sandalwood,  Cubeb  Berries,  Marsh- 
mallow Root,  German  Cheese  Plant, 
Juniper  Berries. 

The  prepared  formulas  are:  No.  112 
U.  U.  Tea,  No.  220  Viburnum  Palmetto 
Compound,  and  No.  138  Golden  Seal 
Marigold  Clover  Compound. 

BRIGHT'S  DISEASE 

The  symptoms  sometimes  are  so  ob- 
scure as  to  escape  attention  until  an 
incurable  condition  is  presented.  Usually 
there  is  pain  in  the  back,  too  frequent, 
thick,  muddy,  or  clear  frothy  urine;  gen- 
eral weakness;  drowsiness  and  debility, 
or  continual  headache,  dizziness  and 
rheumatic  pains  in  the  back  or  limbs, 
all  pointing  to  defective  action  of  the 
kidneys.  If  this  disease  has  become  well 
established  or  chronic  it  is  considered  in- 
curable, but  if  the  symptoms  are  recog- 
nized early  it  will  respond  to  treatment. 

38 


Treatment — Consult  a doctor.  Take 
No.  99  Calumet  Herb  Laxative  Tea  to 
open  the  bowels  and  Demulcent  botanic 
teas  and  consult  a specialist.  The  Herb 
Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical  Demulcents 
and  Diuretics  are:  Horsetail  Grass, 
Marshmallow  Root,  Cheese  Plant,  Bear- 
berry  Leaves,  Sassafras,  Globe  Flower 
Bark  or  Root,  Huckleberry  Leaves,  Bugle 
Weed.  The  prepared  formulas  are:  No. 
116  Bugle  Weed  Compound,  No.  112  U.  U. 
Tea,  No.  132  Wild  Swamp  Root  Com- 
pound. 


GRAVEL 

The  symptoms  are  scanty  and  painful 
discharge  of  variously-colored  urine,  and 
as  the  stones  pass  from  the  kidneys  to 
the  bladder,  violent  colic  pains  from  the 
region  of  the  kidneys  along  the  course 
of  the  ureter — the  tube  which  conveys 
the  urine  from  the  kidneys  to  the  blad- 
der. The  pain  is  usually  very  severe, 
coming  on  in  paroxysms  and  returning 
from  time  to  time  until  the  stones  are 
discharged. 

Treatment — Consult  a specialist.  Take 
1 or  2 Annistan  Tablets  to  relieve  the 
pain.  Hot  foot  and  seat  baths  often  help 
to  relieve  the  pain.  A change  of  drink- 
ing water  and  diet  are  often  of  value. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
Diuretics  and  Demulcents  are:  Horsetail 
Grass,  Barberry,  Dog  Grass,  Carrots, 
Gooseberry  Leaves,  Sweet  Flag,  Buchu, 
Horsemint,  St.  Johnswort,  Water  Pepper, 
Corn  Silk,  Plantain  Leaves.  The  pre- 
pared formulas  are:  No.  112  U.  U.  Tea, 
No.  132  Wild  Swamp  Root  Compound, 
No.  15  Rocky  Mountain  Tea,  No.  116 
Bugle  Weed  Compound,  and  No.  129 
Venetian  Herb  Tea  for  the  Aged. 


INFLAMMATION  OF  THE  BLADDER 

The  symptoms  are  pain  in  the  region 
of  the  bladder  with  severe  burning  and 
irritation,  difficulty  or  inability  of  pass- 
ing water,  and  almost  constant  desire  to 
urinate. 

Treatment — Take  1 or  2 Annistan  Tab- 
lets if  necessary  to  relieve  the  pain.  Hot 
water  bag  applied  to  the  region  of  pain 
is  often  beneficial.  Take  a soothing  and 
cooling  Demulcent  botanic  tea,  and  con- 
sult a specialist. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
Demulcents  are:  Cubeb  Berries,  Marsh-

39 


INFLAMMATION  OF  THE 
URETHRA 

The  symptoms  are  irritation  and  con- 
stant desire  for  urination,  and  inability 
to  retain  it,  and  subsequently,  a dis- 
charge of  white  or  yellow  mucous  from 
the  part. 

Treatment — Same  as  for  Inflammation 
of  the  Bladder. 

INFLAMMATION  OF  THE 
KIDNEYS 

The  symptoms  are  pain  in  one  or  both 
sides  above  the  hip,  and  toward  the 
spine,  in  the  region  of  the  kidneys  and 
thence  usually  extending  forward  and 
downward  with  frequent  desire  to  urinate 
and  scanty  hot  discharge  and  numbness 
along  the  inner  side  of  the  thigh  on  the 
affected  side.  There  is  fever  and  some- 
times vomiting. 

Treatment — Rest  in  bed  and  applica- 
tion of  hot  water  bag  to  seat  of  pain 
often  give  relief.  Keep  bowels  open 
with  No.  99  Calumet  Herb  Laxative  Tea 
and  give  soothing  Demulcent  drinks.  The 
diet  must  be  light. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanicals 
are:  Cheese  Plant,  Marshmallow  Root, 
Corn  Silk,  Dog  Grass,  Cubeb  Berries, 
Wallwort,  Horsetail  Grass,  Sassafras, 
Speedwell,  Bearberry  Leaves.  The  pre- 
pared formulas  are:  Formula  No.  112  U. 
U.  Tea,  No.  132  Wild  Swamp  Root  Com- 
pound, and  No.  15  Rocky  Mountain  Tea. 

DIABETES  INSIPIDUS 

Diabetes  Insipidus  is  characterized  by 
an  excessive  flow  of  urine.  It  is  due  to 
various  causes,  such  as  tumors,  nervous 
diseases,  malaria,  cold  and  dampness  and 
injury.  The  immediate  cause  is  dilation 
of  the  renal  vessels.  Other  symptoms 
are*  constipation,  headaches,  voracious 
appetite,  skin  dry  and  harsh,  loss  of 
memory  and  nervousness. 

Treatment — Consult  a specialist.  Keep 
bowels  open  with  No.  99  Calumet  Herb 
Laxative  Tea  and  take  No.  2033  Vitamol 
Wafers  until  the  bowels  move  regularly 
and  no  more  Cathartics  are  necessary. 
Drink  natural  Mineral  Spring  Ore  Water. 
Oranges  and  grape  fruit  are  excellent  to 
combat  acidosis.  Abstain  from  sweets, 
pastries  and  eat  plenty  of  fresh  and 
cooked  vegetables  rich  in  minerals  and 
chew  them  into  liquid  before  swallowing. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanicals 
containing  organic  minerals  are:  Horse- 
tail Grass,  Mormon  Valley  Herbs,  As- 

40 


paragus,  Spinach,  Globeflower  Bark  or 
Root,  Huckleberry  Leaves  and  Walnut 
Leaves. 

The  prepared  formulas  are:  No.  116 
Bugle  Weed  Compound,  No.  129  Venetian 
Herb  Tea  for  the  Aged  and  No.  127  Pal- 
metto Damiana  Compound. 


DIABETES  MELLITUS 

Diabetes  Mellitus,  or  Sugar  Diabetes,  is 
characterized  by  a constant  presence  of 
glucose  in  the  urine,  excessive  urinary 
discharge,  loss  of  flesh  and  strength, 
pain  in  the  region  of  the  kidneys, 
burning  or  itching  of  the  urethra, 
excessive  thirst,  dry  mouth,  tongue  ir- 
ritable and  beely  red,  often  cracked,  con- 
stipation, pale  dry  stools,  occasionally 
there  is  diarrhea.  Differs  from  Bright’s 
Disease  by  the  absence  of  dropsy. 

Treatment — Consult  a specialist.  Fol- 
low same  instructions  as  for  Diabetes 
Insipidus.  Abstain  from  starchy  foods. 
Drink  freely  of  Natural  Mineral  Spring 
Ore  Water.  Eat  vegetables  rich  in  min- 
erals such  as  lettuce,  cucumbers,  spin- 
ach, endive,  celery,  asparagus,  sauer- 
kraut, string  beans,  tomatoes  and  rad- 
ishes. 

OBESITY 

Obesity,  or  overfatness,  is  generally 
due  to  overfeeding,  especially  foods  rich 
in  carbohydrates  and  lack  of  exercise. 

Treatment — Eat  less  of  foods  rich  in 
carbohydrates  such  as  bread,  cereals, 
sweet  potatoes,  nuts,  milk,  cream  and  all 
sweets.  Drink  only  Mineral  Spring  Ore 
Water  and  take  long  walks. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanicals 
containing  organic  minerals  are:  Horse- 
tail Grass,  Mormon  Valley  Herbs,  Sas- 
safras Bark  and  Bladderwrack.  This  lat- 
ter is  probably  the  most  effective  and 
worst  tasting  of  the  lot.  See  last  pages 
for  price  list. 

The  prepared  formulas  of  botanical 
containing  minerals  are:  No.  28  Saline 
Herb  Tea  and  No.  27  Sassafras  Com- 
pound. 

INCONTINENCE  OF  THE  URINE 
AND  BEDWETTING 

Often  occurs  in  persons  of  advanced 
age  and  in  childhood.  It  consists  of  fre- 
quent desire  to  pass  water,  and  often  an 
inability  to  retain  it  beyond  a short 
period.  It  may  arise  from  irritability  of 
the  organs,  due  to  renal  calculi  (gravel 
stones)  or  to  an  acid  condition  of  the 
urine  and  through  a puncture  with  a 

41 


catheter;  the  latter  cases  cannot  be 
cured  or  relieved  with  medicine. 

Treatment — Drink  soothing  Demulcent 
drinks  with  slight  Astringent  properties. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanicals 
are:  St.  Johnswort,  Water  Plantain, 
Buchu,  Kava  Kava,  Sumach  Bark  and 
Berries.  The  prepared  formulas  are:  No. 
132  Wild  Swamp  Root  Compound,  No.

No.  127  Palmetto  Damiana  Compound  and 
No.  112  U.  U.  Tea. 

DROPSY 

This  ailment  is  characterized  by  a 
swelling  of  the  lower  limbs,  the  abdomen 
and  sometimes  of  the  entire'  body.  The 
swelling  is  caused  by  the  presence  in  the 
tissues  of  serum  or  the  watery  portion 
of  the  blood.  In  certain  diseases  the 
blood-vessels  “leak,”  as  it  were,  so  that 
the  watery  portion  of  the  blood  escapes 
therefrom  through  the  walls  of  the  ves- 
sels into  the  tissues,  where  it  remains. 

In  very  mild  dropsy  the  only  symptom 
noticeable  is  a swelling  of  the  feet.  In 
some  cases  there  is  a puffiness  of  the 
lower  eyelids.  In  other  cases  the  swell- 
ing is  so  great  that  the  feet  ache  and 
the  shoes  have  to  be  removed  to  afford 
relief.  In  still  more  advanced  cases  the 
legs  puff  out  above  the  edge  of  the  shoes, 
forming  a distinct  ridge,  which  is  notice- 
able when  the  patient  is  undressed. 
Slight  dropsy  of  the  feet  and  legs  can 
be  recognized  by  pressing  the  finger  into 
the  flesh  over  the  shin  bone  and  keeping 
up  the  pressure  for  a moment  or  two; 
upon  withdrawing  the  finger  suddenly  it 
will  be  found  that  a pit  or  depression  has 
formed  as  if  the  finger  had  been  pressed 
into  putty  or  soft  dough.  In  cases  of 
longer  standing  the  dropsical  swelling 
may  extend  to  the  knees  or  even  to  the 
body.  The  legs  feel  heavy  and  the 
patient  drags  them  about  with  difficulty, 
becoming  easily  fatigued. 

Dropsy  affecting  the  abdomen  only  is 
recognized  by  a gradual  increase  in  the 
size  of  the  stomach.  The  clothing  is 
found  to'  be  too  tight,  especially  after 
eating — in  other  words,  the  patient  com- 
plains of  being  “bloated.” 

Treatment — The  treatment  of  dropsy 
may  be  directed  toward  restoring  the 
kidney  or  the  heart,  as  the  case  may  be, 
to  a healthy  state.  If  the  kidneys  are 
unable  to  perform  their  work,  that  is, 
to  filter  out  the  usual  quantity  of  water 
from  the  blood,  that  fluid  will  collect 
in  the  tissues.  Hence,  the  necessity  of 
directing  treatment  toward  the  source 

42 


from  which  the  malady  originates,  and 
correct  the  action  of  the  kidneys.  If  the 
heart  is  the  organ  at  fault,  it  too  must 
have  careful  and  studied  attention.  It 
is  well  to  consult  a specialist.  See  in- 
structions for  Heart  Dropsy  and  Inflam- 
mation of  the  Kidneys. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  mild  bo- 
tanical Diuretics  are:  Dwarf  Elder  Root, 
Juniper  Berries,  Kidney  Liver  Leaf, 
Cramp  Bark,  Sweet  Fern,  Kidney  Wort, 
German  Rue,  Rosemary  Leaves,  Dog 
Grass,  Corn  Silk. 

The  prepared  formulas  are:  No.  14 
Dwarf  Elder-Kidney  Wort  Compound, 
No.  17  Father  John’s  Kidney-Liver  Leaf 
Compound,  No.  117  Lavender  Flowers 
Compound,  No.  777  Heart  Tonic  Tea. 

FEMALE  DISORDERS 

The  healthy  performance  of  the  func- 
tions of  the  female  system  is  essential 
to  the  health  and  comfort  of  women.  No 
derangement  in  these  functions  can  exist 
for  any  length  of  time  without  drawing 
the  entire  life  into  sympathetic  suffer- 
ing, yet  their  nature  is  such  as  to  ex- 
clude them,  to  a great  extent,  from 
observation,  and  often  the  sufferer 
groans  on  for  years,  the  victim  of  pain 
and  weakness  known  only  to  herself. 

MENSTRUATION 

In  the  temperate  zone  the  first  menses 
usually  appears  at  about  the  fourteenth 
year — in  warm  climates  earlier — and  in 
colder  climates  later.  Menstruation  is 
also  subject  to  variation,  depending  upon 
the  general  health,  vigor  and  develop- 
ment of  the  person.  For  a year  or  two 
it  may  be  scanty,  and  not  infrequently 
subject  to  some  irregularities.  In  healthy 
women  it  should  appear  every  twenty- 
eight  days  and  flow  four  or  five  days, 
varying  again  according  to  the  constitu- 
tion and  general  health  of  the  person. 
About  the  forty-fifth  year  of  life  it  gen- 
erally ceases,  accompanied  often  with 
various  disturbances  of  the  system.  This 
cessation  of  the  period  is  termed  “change 
of  life.” 

DELAYED  MENSES 

When  menstruation  in  young  girls  is 
delayed,  it  is  not  wise  to  give  medicine 
to  promote  this  secretion,  beyond  atten- 
tion to  sufficient  clothing,  exercise  and 
diet.  The  clothing  should  be  warm 
enough  to  suit  the  temperature  and  sea- 
son, and  a wholesome,  generous  diet 
should  be  adopted,  avoiding  spices,  cof- 
fee and  highly  seasoned  food.  This  will 
generally  be  sufficient  to  produce  a nor- 
mal flow. 


43 


Treatment — If  there  are  symptoms  of 
its  approach,  such  as  flushes  of  heat, 
frequent  giddiness  of  the  head,  heaviness 
in  the  abdomen,  a hot  aromatic  Dia- 
phoretic tea  should  be  taken. 

The  Herb  Doctor’s  choice  of  botanical 
Aromatic  Diaphoretics  are:  Sweet  Flag, 
Canada  Snake  Root,  Squaw  Weed,  Squaw 
Vine,  Yarrow,  Elecampagne,  Mugwort, 
Mullein,  Penny  Royal,  Ragwort,  Rue, 
Shepherds  Purse,  Tansy,  Thyme,  Val- 
erian, Wormwood,  Dill  Seed,  Chamomile 
and  Cotton  Root. 

The  prepared  formulas  are:  No.  XX 
Cotton  Root  Compound,  No.  226  Prairie 
Mint  Compound  and  No.  7 Florida  Tea. 

SCANTY  MENSES 

Sometimes  the  menses  barely  show  or 
are  pale  in  color,  or  are  late  in  appearing 
each  month.  Give  the  following: 

Treatment — Same  as  for  delayed 
menses. 

SUPPRESSED  MENSES 

Sometimes,  during  the  flow  or  just  as 
it  is  about  to  commence,  the  discharge 
stops  or  becomes  suppressed  from  ex- 
posure to  cold,  especially  to  damp  cold. 
The  flow  may  either  cease  suddenly  or  it 
may  come  on  attended  with  scanty,  ir- 
regular discharge,  or  with  severe  pain 
and  distress. 

Treatment — Same  as  for  delayed 
menses. 

PAINFUL  MENSES 

Many  young  girls  suffer  much  pain  at 
every  return  of  the  menstrual  period. 
Not  only  bearing  down  pains,  but  cut- 
tings, gripings,  cramps,  and  in  some 
cases  even  convulsions  attend  the  period 
and  cause  them  to  dread  every  men- 
struation. 

Treatment — During  the  interval  be- 
tween the  periods,  take  a good  botanic 
Tonic-tea  every  night  before  retiring. 
For  attack  of  Cramps,  Pains,  Spasms  or 
Hysteria,  take  1 or  2 Annistan  Tablets

PROFUSE  MENSES 

In  those  subject  to  “whites'*  and  de- 
pendent upon  a similar  relaxed  condition 
of  the  system,  the  flow  may  be  too  pro- 
fuse, returning*  again  after  a cessation 
of  only  ten,  fourteen  or  sixten  days,  and 
flowing  from  five  to  ten  days.  Sometimes 
the  secretions  are  scanty  for  some  days 
and  then  come  on  very  profusely,  caus- 
ing great  prostration,  faintness  and  de- 
bility from  which  the  patient  has  scarcely 
time  to  recover  before  a new  attack. 

Treatment — During  the  interval  be- 
tween the  periods,  take  a good  Viburnum- 
Palmetto  Tonic.  After  the  menstrual  dis- 
charge has  continued  a day  or  two,  take 
No.  126  Rosemary  Compound  morning 
and  night  until  the  flow  ceases.  If  the 
discharge  is  very  profuse  from  the  first 
the  treatment  may  be  commenced  with 
the  first  day.  Abstain  from  coffee  and 
other  stimulants. 

LEUCORRHEA  OR  WHITES 

The  symptoms  are  a discharge  of  mu- 
cous from  the  genital  organs,  variously 
colored  and  of  different  degrees  of  con- 
sistency. It  is  usually  white  or  yellow- 
ish; sometimes  reddish;  mostly  mild,  yet 
sometimes  burning;  causing  soreness  of 
the  parts.  It  is  usually  most  profuse 
immediately  before  and  after  the  men- 
strual period  and  may  continue  during 
the  entire  menstruating  life  of  the 
female,  and  is  known  even  in  young 
girls.  Sometimes  the  discharge  is  slight 
and  only  trifling,  while  at  other  times 
it  is  copious. 

Women  subject  to  these  ailments 
should  carefully  guard  their  feet  and  ab- 
domen from  sudden  changes  or  extreme 
cold;  take  moderate  exercise  in  the  open 
air;  avoid  coffee,  exciting  drinks,  spices 
or  highly  seasoned  foods. 

Treatment — Take  a hot  douche  every 
night  of  No.  41  Floral  Herb  Douche.  The 
douche  should  be  taken  very  slowly  (20 
minutes)  to  give  the  heat  and  medicinal 
virtues  time  to  act;  and  should  be  taken 
while  lying  flat  upon  the  back  if  possi- 
ble. In  severe  cases  the  douche  should 
be  taken  twice  daily.

CHANGE  OF  LIFE 

Cessation  of  the  menses  usually  occurs 
between  the  ages  of  40  to  50  years,  and 
is  frequently  attended  with  disturbance 
of  the  system,  such  as  hot  flushes,  in- 
tense nervousness,  paleness,  debility,  and 
irregular  monthly  flow — either  too  little 
or  too  profuse,  or  colorless  discharge. 
Palpitations  and  throbbings  of  the  heart 
are  also  common.  Few  women  pass  this 
crisis  without  some  of  these  annoying 
symptoms. 

Treatment — If  there  is  weakness  of 
the  heart  and  fatigue,  take  a good  Heart 
Tonic.  Keep  bowels  open  with  No.  99 
Calumet  Herb  Laxative  Tea.  An  occa-

TUMORS  ON  THE  WOMB 

During  the  many  tribulations  occur- 
ring during  the  Change  of  Life  period 
there  are  often  symptoms  of  tumors  on 
the  womb.  Whether  these  exist  or  not 
an  operation  is  very  seldom  necessary, 
as  the  womb  contracts  after  this  period 
and  steadily  becomes  smaller  and  with 
it  the  tumor.  Many  women  are  scared 
into  an  operation  at  this  time  that  is  ab- 
solutely unnecessary. 

ULCERATION  OF  THE  WOMB 

The  symptoms  are  aching  pains  in  the 
back  and  groin  and  the  patient  becomes 
tired  and  easily  fatigued.  There  is  also 
some  discharge  from  the  womb. 

Treatment — Take  No.  99  Calumet  Herb 
Laxative  Tea  to  keep  the  bowels  open.

Water. 

FALLING  OF  THE  WOMB 

The  symptoms  are:  Falling  or  descent 
of  the  womb  down  into  the  vagina.  There 
is  much  suffering.  The  ailment  is  gen- 
erally due  to  too  hard  labor,  and  heavy 
lifting  and  too  much  walking  and  espe- 
cially to  getting  out  of  bed  too  early 
after  child-birth. 

Treatment — The  simplest  treatment  is 
to  have  it  sewed  back  to  its  normal  posi- 
tion. Mild  cases  sometimes  yield  to 
astringent  douches  and  a general 
strength  building  diet  and  tonic  and  ab- 
solute rest.

douches  are:  Wild  Alum  Root,  Mormon

thick  mucous  discharge.  The  treatment 
is  the  same  as  for  Ulceration  of  the 
Womb.

TREATING  THE  BABY. 

The  less  medicine  you  give  the  baby 
the  better  for  it.  Don’t  run  to  the  medi- 
cine chest  every  time  baby  cries.  Keep 
it  clean,  dry  and  warm  and  nature  will 
do  the  rest.  In  cases  of  colic  or  consti- 
pation use  medicines  below,  writes  Mrs. 
J.  M.,  of  Milwaukee,  mother  of  eight 
healthy  children. 

For  Constipation — For  children  over 
one  year  give  one-half  spoonful  castor 
oil.  If  child  is  much  troubled  with 
constipation  give  one-half  teaspoonful 
pure  olive  oil  every  evening  before  re- 
tiring, for  a month  or  more,  until  every 
sign  of  the  diseases  has  vanished. 

For  Colic- — If  the  child  is  restless  and 
continually  crying  it  is  most  likely  suf- 
fering from  colic.  Give  one-half  tea- 
spoonful Fennel  Tea  made  as  follows, 
every  half  hour  if  necessary. 

2 teaspoonsful  Pure  Fennel  Seed. 

2 teaspoonsful  White  Sugar. 

2 ounces  boiling  water. 

Do  not  allow  the  water  to  boil  after 
the  seed  has  been  added.  If  the  child 
has  spasms  apply  warm  flannels  to  the 
abdomen.  Be  careful  not  to  scorch  child. 

When  troubled  with  colic  it  is  well  to 
hold  the  child  in  an  upright  position  and 
to  tap  gently  on  the  back.  This  allows 
the  gas  to  escape.

Mormon  Valley  Herbs  Compound — This 
is  a scientific  compound  of  Indian  and 
modern  botanicals.  It  is  -a  scientific 
blend  of  herb  samples  that  we  offer  with 
the  greatest  confidence  for  its  powerful 
astringent  and  mild  tonic  properties. 

The  main  ingredients  of  this  remark- 
able preparation  is  a plant  known  and 
highly  prized  among  one  tribe  of  Indians 
as  “The  herb  of  the  Sun”  and  Skookum 
Plant  by  another  tribe.  In  Utah,  it  is 
called  Mormon  Plant.  It  grows  in  the 
valleys  of  Utah  and  as  far  south  as 
Mexico.  It  is  one  of  the  main  ingredients 
of  several  widely  advertised  remedies 
and  tonics. 

This  preparation  has  proven  of  such 
value  that  we  can  sincerely  recommend 
it.  When  a certain  preparation  is  widely 
advertised,  it  is  usually  over-rated,  how- 
ever, this  particular  formula  surely  is 
worthy  of  attention  for  ailments  in 
which  these  agents  are  indicated.  It  has 
the  further  advantage  of  being  abso- 
lutely harmless. 

Besides  the  Mormon  Plant,  this  for- 
mula has  other  ingredients  of  proven 
quality,  making  it  one  of  the  very  best 
preparations  we  have.  It  may  be  used 
externally  as  a cleanser  for  old  and 
running  sores  as  well  as  internally.

almost  a few  hours.  It  is  nearly  invis- 
ible and  delicately  perfumed  and  may  be 
applied  at  any  time  without  discomfort. 
It  is  of  great  value  wherever  a soothing 
and  disinfecting  lotion  can  be  applied, 
such  as  Pimples,  Eczema,  Piles,  running 
sores,  etc. 

Directions — Spread  on  afflicted  part 
with  a clean  feather  or  toothpick  and 
allow  to  dry.  Dilute  with  water  if  it 
appears  too  strong.  It  may  be  used  as 
a douche  in  leucorrhoea  and  inflammation

one  teaspoonful  of  the  lotion  in  a gallon 
of  warm  water.  To  make  pimples  disap- 
pear quickly  apply  with  toothpick  and 
allow  to  dry.  At  the  same  time  take 
some  strenuous  exercise  such  as  running 
or  skipping  the  rope,  for  three  to  nve 
minutes.  This  brings  the  blood  into 
circulation  and  hastens  the  cure.  A good 
gargle  and  mouth  wash  can  be  made  by 
dissolving  V2  teaspoonful  in  1 pint  of 
water,  bottle.

this  tea  alone.  It  simply  is  so  good  that 
it  must  please  you — not  alone  in  aroma

You  cannot  expect  results  from  medicine 
made  from  old  stale  herbs — that  probably 
have  been  on  the  shelves  of  your  drug  store 
for  years  and  years.

CATARRH. 

Almost  every  person  is  troubled  with 
catarrhal  * inflammation  of  some  kind 
which  is  slowly  but  surely  devitating 
the  blood  and  poisoning  the  system.  The 
majority  of  the  laity  are  of  the  opinion 
that  the  prime  symptom  of  catarrh  is  a 
clogged  condition  of  the  nostrils,  and  as 
long  as  breathing  through  the  nose  is 
not  difficult  they  are  free  of  the  disease. 
This  is  a serious  mistake. 

Foul  breath  is  a sure  indication  of 
catarrh.  The  seat  of  catarrh  is  the  larynx 
and  pharynx  and  inner  channels  of  the 
nose  and  throat.  To  treat  chronic  ca- 
tarrh successfully  it  is  indispensable  to 
apply  a healing  agent  to  the  diseased 
membrane  and  to  take  a blood  purifying 
and  tonic  remedy;  also  to  keep  the  mouth 
and  teeth  clean  by  the  use  of  antiseptic 
mouth  washes  and  tooth  powder. 

As  a local  soothing  agent,  one  or  more 
of  the  following  may  be  used:  (1)  Ca- 
tarrh Powder  for  snuffing  up  into  the 
nostrils,  (2)  Catarrh  Smoke,  (3)  Catarrh 
Salve,  (4)  Medicated  Cotton.  Descrip- 
tions of  these  preparations  follow: 


No.  136 — Box,  25c. 

Golden  Seal  Catarrh  Powder — This 
powder  is  snuffed  up  into  the  nostrils. 
It  cools  and  soothes  the  inflamed  and 
irritated  membranes.  The  most  active 
ingredients  are.  Eucalyptus,  Camphor, 
Golden  Seal.  It  is  absolutely  free  from 
all  habit-forming  drugs,  so  often  used  in 
catarrh  powders. 

Use  as  a snuff  six  to  ten  times  daily. 
May  also  be  used  as  a lotion  or  spraying 
fluid  by  steeping  y2  teaspoonful  of  this 
mixture  in  a cup  of  warm  water. 


N"o.  310 — Box,  50c. 

Catarrh  Smoke — -The  herbs  comprising 
this  formula  contain  certain  antiseptic 
and  soothing  agents  which  are  vaporized 
when  smoked,  and  when  inhaled  reach 
the  mucous  membrane  of  the  channels 
of  the  head,  nose  and  throat  that  cannot 
be  reached  in  any  more  simple  way. 

Directions — Smoke  a pipeful  of  these 
mixed  herbs  upon  retiring  at  night,  dis- 
charging the  smoke  through  the  nose.  If 
the  hearing  is  impaired  through  catar- 
rhal inflammation,  the  vapors  can  be 


58 


forced  up  into  the  ear  passages  in  the 
following-  manner:  Take  a vigorous  puff, 
hold  the  smoke  in  the  mouth  and  force 
it  out  through  the  nose,  at  the  same 
time  closing  the  nostrils  with  your  finger 
so  that  only  a small  portion  of  the  smoke 
can  escape  through  them. 


No.  511— Price,  50c 

Eucamint  Catarrh  Jell — A very  sooth-

tum, nostril,  mouth,  piles,  burns,

wad  can  be  placed  in  each  nostril  and 
allowed  to  remain  there  unnoticed  while 
the  patient  attends  to  his  duties.  It  is 
very  beneficial  in  certain  cases  of  head- 
aches, earaches  when  rubbed  on  the 
forehead  or  placed  in  the  ear. 


No.  135— Box,  $1.00. 

Catarrh  Mouth  Wash — The  main  in- 
gredients of  this  remarkable  formula  are

Leaves.  It  is  very  important  that  the 
Mullein  is  the  low  or  Silver  Mullein 
Leaves  of  the  first  year’s  growth. 

Directions — Take  the  entire  package  of 
these  herbs,  place  in  2 quarts  of  boiling 
water;  boil  down  to  1 quart.  Add  y2  pint 
pure  glycerine.  Gargle  the  throat  and 
mouth  every  morning  and  evening. 

This  is  an  article  of  the  daily  toilet 
that  should  be  in  every  household.  It 
should  form  a part  of  every  treatment 
for  Catarrh,  as  a gargle  for  the  throat 
and  mouth. 


No.  233 — 2 oz.  bottle,  50c. 

Pinol  Spray — a very  fine  combination 
of  antiseptic  and  aromatic  vegetable  oils, 
very  soothing  to  inflamed  mucous  sur- 
faces, as  in  catarrhal  affections  of  the 
nose  and  throat.

CONSTIPATION  TREATMENT. 

It  has  been  proven  by  medical  author- 
ities that  undigested  food  had  been 
known  to  remain  in  the  intestines  from 
two  weeks  to  three  months,  and  even  a 
year.  This  foul  matter  forms  a coating 
in  the  intestines  and  stomach  and  even 
deposits  what  is  commonly  known  as 
tartar  as  on  the  back  of  the  teeth.  The 
delicate  passages  through  which  the  bile, 
juices,  etc.,  pass  from  the  liver  and 
other  organs  are  choked  up. 

Absorption  and  secretion  are  sus- 
pended, or  partly  so. 

The  stomach  and  intestines  are  unable 
to  digest  the  food  properly. 

The  liver  is  clogged  and  overloaded 
with  bile. 

The  kidneys  are  filled  with  decayed 
tissue  and  dead  corpuscles. 

And  the  blood,  which  should  be  fil- 
tered and  purified,  becomes  contaminated 
and  poisoned  and  is  pumped  through  the 
heart  to  every  conceivable  portion  of  the 
body  from  the  brain  to  the  toes. 

It  is  not  hard  to  see  that  such  blood, 
instead  of  building  and  repairing  the 
tissues  of  the  body,  can  only  poison  the 
entire  system. 

It  is  of  prime  importance,  therefore, 
that  the  bowels  are  put  in  good  condi- 
tion before  attempting  to  cure  any  dis- 
ease of  any  kind.  The  formula  below 
is  a scientific  combination  of  natural 
herbs  which  will  prove  a revelation  to 
those  afflicted  with  habitual  constipation. 


No.  99— Herbs,  50c  box;  Tablets,  60c 

box;  Liquid,  $1.00;  Gallon,  $10.00. 

Calumet  Herb  Laxative  Tea — This  tea 
is  a mild  and  soothing  laxative.  It  re- 
moves the  superfluous  bile  from  the 
liver,  it  flushes  out  and  cleans  the  kid- 
neys. It  is  advisable  to  use  this  tea  two 
or  three  days  in  succession  upon  retiring 
at  night.  The  tea  should  be  discontinued 
as  soon  as  the  bowels  move  properly. 

Directions^— Steep  a heaping  teaspoon- 
ful of  these  mixed  herbs  into  a cup  of 
boiling  water.  Drink  a half  cupful  upon 
retiring  at  night,  warm  or  cold.  If  very 
constipated  1 or  2 cupsful  may  be  taken. 
It  is  unwise  to  force  the  bowels  in  this 
manner,  however.  The  proper  way  to 
treat  constipation  is  to  take  only  a swal- 
low or  two  of  the  tea  upon  retiring  every 
night  until  the  stool  is  proper.  The 
smaller  the  dose,  the  less  forceful  the 
action  of  the  tea,  the  better  results  will 
be  obtained.  The  Herb  Laxative  Tea 
taken  in  this  manner  does  not  produce 
a quick  action  of  the  bowels.  In  fact, 
it  will  be  necessary  to  take  the  tea  for 


60 


three  or  four  days  before  any  change  is 
noticeable.  Little  by  little  you  will 
notice  the  stool  to  become  more  and 
more  loose  and  regular  and  to  remain 
that  way  after  the  use  of  the  tea  has 
been  stopped.  Other  so-called  Herb 
Laxatives  force  the  bowels  to  a quick 
action,  and  when  their  use  is  stopped 
leave  them  in  worse  condition  than  ever. 


No.  170— Large  box,  50c. 

Cascara  Candy  Lozenges — A mild  laxa- 
tive, pleasant  to  take  and  very  effective. 
Ideal  for  children.  Two  or  three  of 
these  dissolved  in  a cup  of  fennel  tea 
and  sweetened  is  equal  to  the  best  cas- 
toria  made.  The  Fennel  Tea  is  made  by 
placing  two  or  three  teaspoonfuls  of  fen- 
nel seed  in  a cupful  of  boiling  water 
and  allowed  to  remain  until  cool.  Strain 
and  add  two  or  three  lozenges.  Dose — A 
teaspoonful  as  often  as  necessary.  This 
is  excellent  for  constipation,  and  colic  of 
infants.  Dose — Adults  eat  one  or  two 
at  bedtime;  children  one-half  to  one 
tablet. 


No.  176— Price,  25c.

ORIENTAL  BATH

been  advertised  under 
various  names  as  a 
treatment  for  obesity. 
It  is  claimed  they  pro- 
duce an  electro-chem- 
ical action  on  coming1 
in  contact  with  per- 
spiration of  the  body. 
However,  this  may  be,  we  doubt  their 
value  in  this  respect  and  recommend 
them  only  for  their  delightful  and  re- 
freshing cooling  effect  and  the  delicate 
fragrancy  they  impart  to  the  body. 

These  salts  are  ideal  for  summer 
bathing,  they  have  a tendency  to  neutral- 
ize strong,  unpleasant  body  odors.

these  superfine  perfumes.  We  carry 
them  only  in  the  following  odors,  price, 
$1.00  per  ounce.  No  discount  for  larger 
quantities. 

Rose  Bouquet — A very  fine  odor,  re- 
minding one  instantly  of  a bouquet  of 
fresh  roses.  A perfume  that  retails  for 
several  times  the  price  we  charge. 

Sandal  Wood  Bouquet — Very  much  dif- 
ferent from  other  perfumes  in  that  it 
possesses  a decided  sandalwood  odor — 
blended  with  a delightful  pleasing  flower 
odor.  This  perfume  has  been  sold  for  as 
high  as  $6.00  an  ounce.  Our  price,  $1.00 
Oriental  Bouquet — This  exquisite  per- 
fume like  the  Sandalwood  is  distinctly 
of  an  oriental  type — blended  with  an 
ordor  that  is  both  sweet  and  lasting. 
This  is  an  odor  you  will  not  find  else- 
where. It’s  different. 


Lilac  Bouquet — A truly  superfine  lilac 
bouquet,  very  sweet  and  lasting. 

American  Cologne  Bouquet — Not  as 
sweet  as  the  more  heavy  floral  odors — • 
yet  sweet  enough  to  satisfy  a connois- 
seur. A distinctly  clean  fresh  odor. 

Arabia  Bouquet — Here  is  a truly  sweet 
oriental  odor.  It  is  our  best  seller.  Very 
strong  and  lasting.  Sold  under  various 
fancy  names  at  very  fancy  prices.  Some- 
times called  Black  Night,  Silent  Night, 
Mystery  Drops,  Borgia’s  Lure,  Love 
Drops  and  what  not — a very  charming 
sweet  odor — but  no  more  magic  than 
some  of  our  other  odors. 

Ylang  Ylang  Bouquet — Heavier  than 
Arabia  and  to  some  more  sweet.  But 
that  is  a matter  of  taste.  It  truly  is  a 
very  fine  perfume. 

Reseda  Bouquet — This  exquisite  per- 
fume is  entirely  different  than  any  of 
the  preceding  odors — while  it  is  sweet  it 
has  a decidedly  fresh  odor — it  reminds 
one  of  stepping  into  a flower  garden 
after  a shower. 

Lily  of  the  Valley  Bouquet — Not  as 

sweet  as  Reseda  but  just  as  fresh  and 
pleasing.  A perfume  that  commands  far 
more  than  we  charge  for  it. 

Heliotrope  Bouque  t — S weet,  sweet, 
sweet,  delightfully  sweet,  that’s  about 
the  best  description  of  this  exquisite 
odor.  You  don’t  know  what  a sweet  odor 
is  until  you  get  this.  One  of  the  rare 
high  priced  perfumes  on  the  market.

violet  odors,  more  sweet,  more  lasting, 
more  delightful.  Every  one  loves  the  vio-

muscles  and  skin  of  the  face.  We  have

in  alternate  layers  with  common  salt. 
First  sprinkle  2 teaspoonfuls  of  salt  in 
the  bottom  of  jar  then  a layer  of  Rose 
Petals  and  Buds — then  a thin  layer 
(14  inch)  of  salt — and  so  on.  The  last 
layer  should  be  rose  buds  and  petals,  no 
salt.  Such  a jar  will  perfume  the  room 
for  months.

parted to  everything  in  the  closet.  Very 
delicate  and  delightful,  but  of  not  much 
value  to  keep  away  moths,  for  this  pur- 
pose see  our  Moth  Chaser  in  the  index. 
Violet  is  the  predominating  odor  of  these 
fragrant  roots,  due  primarily  to  the  pres- 
ence of  Florentine  Orris  Roots.

WILD  WOOD  TOILET 
SOAP. 

A beautiful  complexion — 
the  bloom  of  youth,  that 
fresh  delicate  peachy  bloom, 
the  desire  of  every  lady  of 
refinement,  can  only  be 
maintained  by  the  use  of  a 
superfine  toilet  soap. 

Soaps  made  from  cheap 
grease,  the  rancid  grease 
rendered  from  every  con- 
ceivable filthy  source,  cannot  be  good  for 
the  complexion.  No  amount  of  perfume 
can  make  such  soaps  good. 

Our  Wild  Wood  Toilet  Soap  is  made  of 
selected  materials — edible  fats — scientifi- 
cally blended  with  East  India  Sandal 
Wood  oils  and  balsams.  Sandal  wood  oil 
is  one  of  the  most  expensive  of  essential 
oils,  costing  from  $9.00  to  $12.00  per 
pound.

book  could  be  written  on  the  virtues  of 
this  remarkable  soap.  Try  a bar — you 
will  never  be  without  it. 

The  Ideal  Hard  Water  Soap — It  im- 
parts to  the  body  a delightful  clean 
fresh  odor  and  has  a tendency  to  com- 
bat disagreeable  and  strong  body  odors. 
It  is  cheap  enough,  to  be  used  by  farm 
hands  and  mechanics  for  the  quick 
cleansing  of  grease  and  grime,  yet  it  is 
good  enough  to  be  used  by  physicians 
and  surgeons  for  any  purpose  where  a 
good  clean  soap  is  required.

COMPLETE  TREATMENT  FOR 
BALDNESS  FOR  MEN 


Gray  Hair  First  Sign  of  Old  Age — 

The  coloring  matter  of  the  hair  which 
exists  in  the  cells  of  the  outer  two 
layers  of  the  hair  is  eaten  by  cells  from 
the  innermost  layer  which  have  been 
kept  in  check  by  vitality  of  the  outer 
layer  cells.  As  the  body  grows  weaker 
these  outer  cells  become  weakened,  and 
the  inner  cells  growing  in  activity. 
After  devouring  the  outer  cells,  causing 
gray  hair,  they  attack  the  vital  cells  of 
the  scalp  and  continue  their  destruction. 
These  destructive  cells  are  called 
“Machrophags.”  They  are  found  in  all 
parts  of  the  body,  and  as  the  general 
health  declines  they  become  especially 
active  in  the  walls  of  the  arteries,  caus- 
ing old  age  and  death.  The  process  is, 
of  course,  very  slow  and  hardly  notice- 
able. As  the  body  is  kept  young,  these 
cells  are  kept  in  check,  therefore  to  ward 
oft  old  age  and  gray  hair,  a good  tonic 
appears  to  be  the  rational  treatment. 

Another  theory  of  the  cause  of  old 
age  and  gray  hair  and  their  prevention 
is  the  following:  In  youth  the  heart  ac- 
tion is  strong  and  the  blood  is  pumped  to 
every  cell  in  the  body;  as  we  grow  older 
— our  heart  becomes  weaker  and  the 
circulation  of  the  blood  to  the  head  and 
scalp  becomes  less.  This  action  may  be 
compared  with  an  engine  pumping  water 
up  a hill — as  the  engine  becomes  weaker, 
the  flow  of  water  to  the  top  of  the  hill 
decreases.  Disciples  of  this  theory  rec- 
ommend— to  lie  at  least  one  hour  a day 
with  the  head  resting  lower  than  the 
rest  of  the  body,  thus  allowing  more 
blood  to  flow  to  the  head  and  invigorate 
the  scalp.  Some  of  these  theorists  sleep 
without  a pillow,  others  simply  raise  the 
foot  of  their  bed  a few  inches.  Still 
another  theory  is  that  baldness  is  due 
to  a diseased  condition  of  the  scalp. 

The  treatment  we  recommend  takes  in 
consideration  of  all  these  theories — and 
while  there  are  undoubtedly  cases  that 

72 


cannot  be  helped — we  know  from  past  ex- 
perience that  if  the  treatment  is  per- 
sistently taken  the  majority  will  be  de- 
lighted with  the  results  obtained. 

Treatment. 

1st.  Take  Formula  No.  999  Body 
Tonic  Tea,  as  a general  tonic.  One  cup- 
ful of  this  tea  to  be  taken  during  the 
day,  or  use  the  tablets  if  more  conven- 
ient. Upon  retiring  at  night  drink  a 
cupful  of  milk. 

2nd.  Upon  retiring,  apply  one  or  two 
tablespoonfuls  of  Oriental  Hair  Lustre 
to  the  scalp  and  massage  thoroughly  be- 
fore it  dries  on  the  hair,  put  on  a rubber 
bathing  cap  and  go  to  bed. 

3rd.  The  next  night  apply  one-half 
teaspoonful  Great  Marvel  to  the  scalp, 
rubbing  it  in  thoroughly  and  put  on  the 
rubber-  bathing  cap  and  retire.  Do  not 
wash  the  head  next  morning,  but  if  de- 
sired, the  hair  and  scalp  may  be  moist- 
ened with  water  thoroughly.  Use  no  sipap. 

4th.  Upon  retiring  the  following  night 
bathe  the  hair  and  scalp  with  cold  water 
but  do  not  dry  the  scalp;  while  still  wet 
put  on  the  bathing  cap  and  retire. 

The  above  is  one  week’s  treatment; 
continue  the  same  the  next  week.  Sleep 
without  a pillow  at  least  one  night  a 
week. 

Be  sure  to  wear  the  Rubber  Bathing 
Cap  during  the  three  nights  a week, 
when  the  different  preparations  are  ap- 
plied, as  the  cap  prevents  the  liquids 
from  evaporating.  And  always  rub  up- 
ward from  the  ears  toward  the  top  of  the 
head  when  massaging  the  scalp.  Never 
rub  downward. 

We  can  furnish  this  treatment  at  the 
following  prices:

1 Oriental  Hair  Lustre 50 


Special  offer  of  the  above  for  $5.00 

Note — The  Great  Marvel  is  very  pow- 
erful and  penetrating  and  must  not  be 
applied  to  a scalp  that  is  afflicted  with 
eczema,  mange,  or  any  other  sores  or 
inflammation.  Great  Marvel  is  non-poi- 
sonous  but  irritating  to  sore  spots.  When 
the  scalp  is  inflamed  or  diseased,  Ironite 
should  be  used  in  place  of  Great  Marvel 
and  Oriental  Hair  Lustre  until  the  scalp 
is  well  healed.  Ironite  will  do  more  for 
a diseased  scalp  than  any  article  we 
know  of.

Herbs  lose  much  of  their  medicinal 
value  after  they  are  a year  old.  A drug- 
gist will  carry  a stock  of  herbs  from 
year  to  year,  until  sold;  varieties  for 
which  there  is  but  little  demand  are 
often  kept  on  the  shelf  from  ten  to 
twenty  years.

ALTERATIVES 

These  are  drug's  which  gradually  al- 
ter and  correct  a bad  condition  of  the 
blood  without  necessarily  producing 
evacuations  of  the  bowels. 

ANTISFASMODICS 

Medicines  which  allay  or  prevent  the 
recurrence  of  spasms,  relieving  muscu- 
lar irritability  and  excessive  contrac- 
tion. 

ASTRINGENTS 

Drugs  which  contract  the  tissues  and 
thus  tend  to  arrest  discharges. 

DEMULCENTS 

These  are  drugs  suited  to  modify  the 
action  of  acrid  and  stimulating  matters 
upon  the  mucous  membranes  of  the 
throat,  lungs,  stomach  intestines,  kid- 
neys and  bladder  and  the  entire  urinary 
passages.  They  are  soothing  to  the  irri- 
tated, or  inflamed  mucous  membrane 
and  therefore,  of  great  service  in  colds, 
coughs,  diarrhoea,  kidney  and  bladder 
troubles,  burning  or  scalding  urine,  gon- 
orrhoea, brights  disease,  diabetes,  dis- 
entery,  cholera  infantum,  gall  stones, 
piles,  catarrhal  affections  of  the  throat 
and  stomach  and  also  as  emolients  when 
applied  externally. 

DIAPHORETICS— SUDORIFICS 

Diaphoretics  are  drugs  which  secure 
an  increased  perspiration  that  usually  is 
not  great  or  visible.  Those  which  in- 
duce a very  abundant  and  visible  per- 
spiration are  called  Sudorifics. 

DIURETICS 

Medicines  which  promote  the  secre- 
tion of  urine.  Useful  when  the  kidneys 
are  not  sufficiently  active.  In  the  ma- 
jority of  fevers  some  specific  influence 
requires  to  be  made  upon  the  kidneys. 
Useful  also  in  those  achings  of  the  back 
and  general  nervous  uneasiness  which  so 
often  proceed  from  deficient  renal  action; 
in  scalding  of  the  urine  and  aching 
through  the  bladder;  in  prostatic  affec- 
tions of  a chronic  character,  and  in 
gonorrhoeal  poisoning. 

EXPECTORANTS 

Expectorants  are  drugs  which  modify 
quality  and  quantity  of  mucous  secre- 
tions and  favor  its  expulsion.  They  are 
the  chief  components  of  medicines  for 
coughs,  colds,  bronchitis,  laryngitis, 
pharyngitis,  rhinitis,  and  coryza.

HERB  TEAS 

For  liquids  see  page  91,  for  tablets 
see  page  92. 

All  of  the  following  preparations  can 
be  furnished  in  the  herb  tea  form.  The 
different  herbs,  roots,  barks  and  flowers 
comprising  these  formulae  are  com- 
pounded in  the  right  proportions,  mixed 
and  ready  for  use.  They  are  nicely  cut 
into  small  pieces  so  that  with  careful 
investigation  one  can  distinguish  all  of 
the  different  ingredients. 

To  make  a medicinal  tea  simply  take 
one  or  two  heaping  teaspoonfuls  of  the 
mixture  and  place  in  a cupful  of  boil- 
ing hot  water — cover  up  the  vessel  and 
allow  to  cool,  drink  one  or  two  cupfuls 
a day,  a large  mouthful  at  a time.  Some 
people  prefer  to  boil  the  tea  for  1 min- 
ute only,  so  as  to  extract  more  of  the 
medicinal  virtues  of  the  ingredients. 

Some  require  3 or  4 or  more  teaspoon- 
fuls of  the  herb  mixtures  for  the  tea  to 
get  results.  We  are  not  all  built  alike, 
some  are  strong,  some  are  weak.  Each 
individual  should,  therefore,  start  with 
one  or  two  teaspoonfuls  of  the  mixtures 
and  gradually  increase  the  quantity 
until  the  desired  results  are  obtained. 

All  of  our  herb  mixtures  may  be  taken 
freely,  they  are  harmless.

EUCAMINT  LIQUID.  $1.00. 


This  is  a powerful  and  penetrating 
Liquid — yet  non-poisonous  and  soothing. 
It  may  be  used  freely  in  colds,  croup, 
rheumatic  pains,  sore  joints  and  muscles, 
stiff  neck,  sprains,  neuralgia,  neuritis 
and  lumbago.  Its  uses  are  unlimited. 
Use  it  wherever  pain,  inflammation,  con- 
gestion or  itching  exists.  Equally  valu- 
able for  man  or  beast. 

Whooping  Cough — Consult  a physician. 
Apply  the  Liquid  Eucamint  liberally 
over  the  throat,  chest  and  back  and 
cover  with  warm  flannels.  Gargle  the 
Liquid  Antiseptic  several  times  daily. 
Give  the  child  plenty  of  fresh  air  but 
keep  away  from  draughts. 


Sore  Throat,  Mild — 

Apply  Eucamint  Liquid 
to  throat  and  rub 
lightly,  then  cover  with 
warm  flannels.  If  white 
or  gray  spots  appear  on 
throat,  gargle  the  Li- 
quid Eucamint.  Also 
place  a few  drops  on 
sugar  and  swallow. 


Pyorrhea — Eucamint  Liquid  is  also  of 
great  service  in  Pyorrhea — far  better 
than  most  advertised  preparations. 

Colds  in  Chest — Rub  Eucamint  well 
into  the  chest,  over  the  throat  and  back, 
then  cover  with  warm,  dry  flannels.  Re- 
peat about  twice  each  day.  Also  heat 
a little  in  a spoon  over  a candle  or 
match  and  inhale  the  vapors.  Keep  pa- 
tient in  bed  in  a well  ventilated  and 
warm  (not  hot)  room.  A laxative  is  also 
advisable. 

Rheumatic  Pain — In<  these  cases  it  is 
advisable,  when  convenient,  to  bathe  the 
part  for  several  minutes  with  water  as 
hot  as  can  be  borne,  before  applying. 
This  opens  the  pores,  increases  the 
power  of  absorption  of  the  skin. 

Cuts — Prevent  infection  and  relieve 
the  soreness  by  simply  applying  into  the 
cuts  after  cleansing  with  warm  water. 

Tired,  Aching  Peet — Apply  Eucamint 
Liquid  to  the  feet  and  rub  well. 


No.  415— Box,  50c. 

Poot  Rase — This  is  a combination  of 
roots,  herbs,  flowers,  borax  and  alum 
that  gives  almost  instant  relief  to  ach- 
ing and  sweaty  feet,  and  if  used  con- 
stantly for  a short  time  will  toughen 
the  soles  and  prevent  foot  troubles.  It 
is  not  a cure  for  cofns,  however.  Trav- 
eling men,  try  this.
